Subject: New electric drive SUVs

I am setting up a demonstration of a new Company rolling out a new electric drive SUV and a new Van. This is by special invitation. Details and sign up with David Drake at 76O 638 958O on the mountain. This is before the showing to the public at the LA Autoshow in November.

Such beautiful “music playing” … it is pouring rain on Palomar Mountain.  Had to share.  Already have close to an inch and a half at our place on State Park Road.  So nice to be up here for this lovely storm. So thankful.

Enjoy!

Thanks to all the volunteers that staff our two Palomar lookouts!

On Sunday the Forest Fire Lookout Association volunteers began staffing Boucher Hill and High Point Lookouts for the fire season. Just in time, as High Point reported a smoke on the East Grade that turned out to be a vegetation fire near Dyche Valley.  Palomar Volunteers, US Forest Service and Cal Fire initiated a full wildland response including air tankers and helicopters. The fire was quickly contained, but this should be a reminder to all of us on the mountain that we are facing another early and potentially active fire season. Stop by Boucher, visit the tower, and let the volunteers know how much you appreciate their eyes on the forest.

Like some new tack for your horses?  Have some you’d like to sell? I know some of you would like to decorate your cabin in a western theme.  This Tack and Treasure sale looks like fun tomorrow!

Each year the Palomar Mountain Planning Organization, PMPO, mails out a newsletter.

Has your address changed in the past year?  Send your correction my way please.  You may just comment to this post, I’ll collect the info, turn it around, and make sure it isn’t seen by the world – it’s safe with me!
