It was very sad to have a cabin burn on Palomar. Many of us knew Cal and Doris Rainford who designed and built their home up here in the 1970’s. It was presently a rental. Click for the news article about the fire.
Maybe 8 or 10 years ago I was driving by their cabin and had to stop and take a pix of their tree in bloom. It is also on the Memorial page for Cal.

Spring isn’t far away!

When I was a little girl my Popo always invited us to help change the clocks. I realize now that it took so much longer to have my brother and me tagging along. But I know now why he had us ‘help’. Just creating happy memories. I’ve walked by this old wooden clock hanging in our entry several times the last few days. It’s been nudging me to nudge you, from the Mountain Top to, Spring Forward and create many happy memories with your family!

Employees of Harrah’s Rincon Casino & Resort come to Palomar State Park’s aid
On Saturday March 2, employee volunteers from Harrah’s Rincon Casino & Resort in Valley Center devoted half a day at Palomar Mountain State Park to help refurbish the park’s group campground. The day’s project consisted of replacing half a dozen doors on the park’s decades-old old restroom and shower building.
“The old doors were in terrible shape, and the Harrah’s Rincon volunteers really came to the rescue,” says Rick Barclay, chairman of Friends of Palomar Mountain State Park. “Through the generosity of all our donors, we could finally buy replacement doors, but installing them was the bottleneck. These talented volunteers from Harrah’s Rincon really came through for us — knocked it out and they were a real pleasure to work with.”
The door project is just one of several phases in an overall campground improvement now underway at the park which, just a year ago, was destined for closure. Fortunately, the non-profit group that Barclay heads up was able to negotiate an agreement with the Department of Parks and Recreation to keep Palomar open, through contributions from concerned citizens, both individual and commercial.
The Harrah’s Rincon employees were organized through the casino’s HERO program, an employee-based community involvement program that encourages employees to volunteer their time, expertise, creativity and passion to initiatives that improve people’s lives.

Subject: Update to Internet access on Palomar Mountain
In 2007, we ran a survey of internet access methods. Since then, I get frequent requests for updates on available services. This is not a promotion nor do I benefit from this information, but just an update: I now use Western Broadband (http://westb.net/) and have been very happy with them. Very reliable, inexpensive ($40/month for basic service which is 5 mb/sec – but I test faster than that), I think they are the best option if you have line of sight. They use a small (~12″) dish that must have line-of-sight to one of their mountain top repeaters and will come to your location and determine if you can get signal.
