New Neighbors – Harrington Family
The Harrington family addition to Palomar really upped our population! In fact, they could just about be their own town! Their newest addition arrived several weeks early to Dan and Jill on December 28th, a son, Ciaran Joseph. That makes 6 sons and 6 daughters! The timing turned out to be perfect because all of the family were in for Christmas, along with some girlfriends. Their pic became quite a special Christmas card-to-remember! When Dan and Jill first came up looking for a retreat they fell in love with the land and view. They are having a wonderful time planning a remodel using some of the cedar from their land that had burned in a fire. You can be sure the addition includes bunk rooms for all their growing family with room for lots of friends too. Dan spends his time during the week working for Teradata Corporation. Caring for their twelve children keeps Jill young and on her toes! Such a fun family! So glad to have them as neighbors on the mountain top.

Iron Springs Ranch
Escape to one of the most private, and absolutely beautiful 40 acres tucked away on Palomar Mountain. The newly remodeled cabin looks like walking into the cover of a delightful designer magazine. An album and the MLS info is waiting for you here. Then bundle up the family and come on up for a hike.

Snow Plow idea from Bill Leibold
Some of you knew Bill and Grace Leibold when they built their ‘Ship House’ on Birch Hill and lived up here for many years. I couldn’t resist passing on this message and link from Bill. I am quite certain we should have some of these Roboplows ’round the mountain:
From: William Leibold
I just viewed your “The Most Beautiful View – snow scene” news and the Roboplow came to mind; just think, with this, Palomar folks could sit by the fire and plow their drive etc !
Trust you enjoyed a pleasant Christmas and only the best, throughout 2013.

Roxy is Home, Safe and Sound
From: Elizabeth LaPlant
We were so thrilled to get a call from Mark Merrill. He found Roxie in Mendenhall Valley. She was dehydrated, extremely skinny, moderately weak, but with no injuries and seemingly in great condition.
When we picked her up on Saturday from Mother’s Market, Roxy she was still a little disoriented. To be expected since she spent 4 nights in the snow while temperatures were in the teens, and without food nor water.
Mark said, with all of the stray dogs running around Palomar mountain he usually chases off anything that comes on the property. He stated “There was something different about her disposition”. Mark brought her into his cabin, fed her some cat food, and she curled up on his couch for a long deserved rest. She is now back to her old self, making an exceptionally speedy recovery.
Thank you to everyone on the mountain for all your prayers and support. What a great community we have!
From: Teri Simas
You have no idea just how happy this makes me! I’ve been praying that Roxy would find her way home, and woke up at 2am last night thinking about her. Having lost dogs on the mountain and then finding them with the help of the Palomar community, I know all too well the anxiety and terror involved looking for them. I’m SO glad this story has a happy ending 🙂

New Neighbors – Frank and Vicki McCarthy
As an avid member of My Country Club, Frank has dreamed of a cabin on Palomar for years. The A-Frame on East Grade had his name on it being next to National Forest. But, there was work to be done to make it a place his wife, Vicki, would also enjoy for weekend retreats. Frank quickly put the ‘Cabinator’ to work moving out the ‘occupants’ and doing everything possible to ensure no more free-loaders! Thanks to tips from neighbors and great contractors, they are now living off the grid successfully with their generator and propane system. The icing on the cake for Frank was letting Vicki plan and pick out everything ‘cabin’ to furnish and decorate their much-loved home-away-from-home. When Frank and Vicki aren’t at the cabin, he works in pharmaceuticals and Vicki in insurance, both looking forward to the next time they can come up, check the trail cams, and share their cabin with family and friends.
