Palomar Mountain News

When Gwyn Martz and Ron Leslie met, and discovered that their dogs were both named “Teddy”, they knew that to be a sign of good things to come!  Gwyn has been wanting a cabin on Palomar forever, envious of her friend Terri Sproul who gets to live in “Paradise”. Since escrow closed on Gwyn’s little treasure, she has had a permanent smile.  “How can you not smile with everyone so friendly, such great hiking, big, beautiful trees, and it is so peaceful and quiet?”  When she is not counting down the days for the completion of her next project, she works as an office manager, while Ron is with SDG&E, races cars, and is intrigued hearing that there may have recently been a Big Foot sighting back in hills up here.

The word is out that apparently some Palomar residents have possibly seen a bear up here recently.  David Ross, the editor of the Valley Center Press, is very interested in interviewing anyone who has seen the bear.  Would that be you?  Please connect with David below and we’ll look forward to the story!

Dear Forest Lovers,

The lack of snow on Palomar Mountain means that we can go ahead with the planned dedication celebration at 1pm today (Sunday). Palomar Mountain State Park is being welcomed into the Old-Growth Forest Network. This Network selects one protected, open to the public, exemplary forest in each county of the nation (where forests can grow) and helps people connect with these special places (see www.oldgrowthforest.net). For San Diego County, California, Palomar Mountain State Park has been selected. A small group of people will gather today at the Silvercrest Picnic Area for a brief celebration of this dedication. All interested persons are welcome to attend.

Bonnie Phelps has graciously opened her home on State Park Rd, to warm up after.

A map of the picnic area location can be found at this link:

Looking forward to seeing you there!
