Palomar Mountain News

Ran right into a fisherman cleaning his fish at a campground recently.  But first I need to tell you a story from Barb Waite.  The night before Barb’s sister was married, their mother called her into the bedroom for a little talk.  Katie Beishline told Nancy, “Don’t ever learn how to clean fish”.  (Doesn’t that sound like Katie!?!)

I understand even more Katie’s wise advice after watching Bob Markley, an avid fisherman from Oceanside.  He’d been fishing in the High Sierras and having great success.  I watched him clean three fish.  He is quite a pro and really seems to have a good system.  However, I don’t remember a thing!!!!  (Katie would be proud!)

Bob did say that his favorite knot to use fishin’ is the Palomar Knot!  I didn’t even know there was a Palomar Knot!  He suggested I google it, and it does look like a handy knot to learn!  We shouldn’t be surprised, named after our favorite mountain!

Here is the latest from Michael Walsh and the Friends of Palomar State Park:

Important news items about the park you love.

As promised, click here for an important update … and read some encouraging news!   Palomar Mountain State Park has a golden opportunity to get funding from DPR via Assembly Bill (AB) 1478, which was the direct result of the scandal in Sacramento. This bill is now sitting on the governor’s desk for signature.

Click here to send an email to Governor Brown voicing your support of AB 1478. Don’t delay — the governor will either sign the bill, veto it, or make amendments to it by the end of the month, and he could do so any day.

Thank you!

Palomar Mountain was a pretty dramatic place to be yesterday with a Thunder and Lightening storm passing by!  Earl and Louise Walls had a front row seat!  I saw their pix on Facebook and asked Louise to send them our way for all of you to see!   Simply amazing!  Thanks Weezie!

  You are invited to park at the big level lot, known as the helipad. A fun, vintage fire truck will be your free shuttle back and forth to the Fire Department.

Directions:  From the top of the Mountain, take the road to the left of Mother’s Kitchen and the Store, which is State Park Road.  The entrance to the free parking, is immediately on your left.

The entrance for the BBQ is from the west side of the Fire Department.  Looking forward to seeing you in the morning!
