Like some magical mountain time at Cabin Fever?  We just had a cancellation for December 11th to the 16th. Wondering if it would work for you or someone you know?

For those of you who might be wondering how much rain we’ve had.  Here is the scoop.  Gary and Linda Lockard came up to celebrate his Birthday this week. (Happy Birthday Gary!!!).

He is a gadget guy and when I saw his post I thought some of you Mountain News subscribers might be interested in Gary’s  weather report from Bailey Meadow Road this morning:

“Good morning, So far 4.34 inches and it’s still raining. We have a professional Davis PRO 2 weather station. What a great soft rain.”

Will YOU adopt Pookies?  Like a GREAT indoor cat to keep an eye on the critters?

From: Eric Belgum [mailto:ebelgum@yahoo.com]

Female-about 3 years old & about 9 pounds. Tabby grey with tiger stripes. Very friendly and loving but might not get along with other cats.  Comes with cat bed, cat carying cage, litter box, & large bag of food.  

Not able to have cat where I’m moving.  Indoor cat only and good mouser.   Available now.

Thanks,  

Eric

Subject: Sand bags at the Fire Station

We have sand and sand bags at the fire station by the tree on the corner of East Grade and Crestline Road if any community member needs them.  It’s a “shovel your own” self-serve.  However, anyone who needs assistance can ask a Firefighter.  We’re more than happy to help.

The folks out there on Observation Point have new neighbors!  When Shane and Veronique drove up to Deer Highway, Vero knew they had found their land Day One, just looking from the road. It took Shane a few more hours, some scratches and some poison oak discovered while walking the boundary, to fall in love. By day they are both scientists in drug discovery. Besides being outdoors they love tending their trees and garden.  Here’s the family loving their new nine acres: O.G., (Nanna) Jan, Morgane, Shane and Veronique.  Welcome to Palomar Mountain!

Like a GREAT Christmas stocking stuffer? Barb’s book is on SALE the next couple days! Today it is only 99 cents!!! Ohmygoodness! Such a charming story from her grandmother’s journal. It ended with Elsie on her way to Palomar Mountain and that story will be in the second book! Gotta read the first one, first! I couldn’t put it down… bet you’ll want the hardback too!

Elsie’s family property on Palomar was on both sides of State Park Road where those apple orchards are still producing delicious apples from the 100 + year old trees.

“Elsie- Adventures of an Arizona Schoolteacher 1913-1916.” Cyber Monday “Elsie” will be $ .99 cents. Tuesday it will be $1.99, Wed.$ 2.99, Thursday $3.99 and Friday back to $4.99.  Available on Amazon.

Can you  believe it is December already?

  So glad I had my camera yesterday as the sun was setting and shining on our firewood, treating us to some Fall Color.  There is so much to be thankful for living on Palomar Mountain, but the little things make it extra special.  Don’t you love it when the temperatures drop and we get to stoke up the woodstove?  We enjoy so much our step back in time, to the lifestyle of the “good ole days”.  It’s so nice sitting ’round a campfire with family and friends, and the beauty of our Four Seasons, a mile nearer Heaven.

Wishing this Thanksgiving finds you with many blessings and plenty of reasons to Give Thanks.

God Bless you all,

Bonnie

Wow!  The Palomar Christian Conference Center has a lot going on!  Simply click for their Thanksgiving greeting and a peek at the different camping or retreat options waiting for you right here on the mountain.

There are some cabins waiting for you that could be fun in your stocking!  Some owners have made them even more attractive with recent price reductions.  Check them out on the Cabins page!

We also have a new discovery that is very special for parts of Palomar.  This is a HUGE plus for all the cabin listings at this very minute.  Old recorded deeds were found at the county that enable our title company to plot easements from the cabins to the main road.  (We’ll have more details on that soon).

Meanwhile, what this means to anyone looking to invest in a cabin is that they can now be purchased with a conventional loan. Some sellers are open to carry back also and we are set up to do escrows to get you in for our first snow!

Pretty special!  We’re on the Mountain this week and let’s go open those doors and talk turkey!
