Palomar Mountain News

Two Shepherds and a Boxer are very friendly and hanging around, half way down the South Grade, at the Chapman’s.

Are they your dogs?  Connect with me and I’ll forward you the contact info.

About 600 bicycle riders are heading our way from Solana Beach tomorrow. Click for route info.  I’ve been thinking, I have a very fun pink beach cruiser, but I’d need a lot more ‘rest stops’ than shown on this map – and some overnights too, for me to ride up here from the coast!  Watch out for these ambitious folks in great shape tomorrow!  Let’s cheer them on!

When ever we have a chance of thunderstorms, it is always a good idea to unplug what you can.  A little more info is waiting for you here.   During one of our spring storms, we lost our telephone in a thunderstorm.  So, you might want to unplug your phone and the power cord, for a few hours until the storm passes.  Oh, you can live without it for a little while watching the lovely storm!

Our very own Mountain Man, Bruce Druliner’s roots go way back on Palomar.  A little of the family story is waiting for you here.  The latest news is Bruce has his second music CD available now!

“The music will remind you of days long ago, when the sky was clear, the buffalo plenty, and honor and love among people was a shining light.”

Perfect music for sitting ’round a campfire with the crisp weather we’re treated to on Palomar these days. Order yours today!

Lynda Ruth has some quilting scraps that are free to a good home.  Give her a call at the cabin 760 742-1759 – today only.

Everyone is invited to come on out, tomorrow night, Saturday night for some old fashioned fun on Palomar Mountain.

Bring a potluck dish to share, your family and friends, and head on over to the outside amphitheater at the Fire Department.

It is suggested to bring blankets to sit on, but if you’re old like me, there just may be an old folks section too, so you might want to bring folding chairs. You’ll want warm jackets, too, Fall is in the air!

John Lesac also announced an “Opportunity Raffle” with $2.00 tickets for some pretty cool stuff from the General Store, Lazy H, and a private 7 course dinner for two, served on the Mountain and more.

How special is that!?!!

Just a few minutes away, at the base of Palomar Mountain, is the longest Zip Line in California!

Now open!  What a fun adventure! Located at the La Jolla Reservation on Hwy 76, about 20 minutes from the top of the mountain.  I can hardly wait to go!  Let’s make a party of it!

Thankful for the lovely rain today.  Southern Cal could use a lot more.  We’re experiencing the need to conserve in a very real way.

Yes, that is duct tape on the faucets.  All of our faucets are taped.  Our well went dry.  We have a tiny bit left in our 5000 gal tank but needing to be very frugal. We taped the faucets because it is such a habit to turn the water on so often without thinking about it.

The well at our other place seems fine so we ‘float’ back and forth.  We are camping out with handy wipes, makeup remover cloths, and bottled water and jugs that we refill for drinking and brushing teeth. We are patiently waiting for the county to approve the new well permit so we can get a new one drilled.

Meanwhile, this is just a little nudge and reminder to conserve, as every little drop counts!
