And can you put up on your news bulletin that I’m interested in seeing if there is anyone on the mountain who has had experience repairing old stoves, as in REALLY old stoves from the1920s and 1930s?

A very friendly, quite pudgy, black lab has found a new home on Palomar. It was love at first sight for Tim and Connie, but just in case someone is looking for their dog, he is very happy and might have a new name: Bear.
If you are missing your pal, you can give Tim and Connie a call 76 zero 835 seven 127

Curt and Barb will be there tomorrow! Forest Fire Lookout Volunteer, Curt Waite will be looking for smokes. After being closed for decades, the lookout has been restored and back in service now not quite one month!
I am just guessing that Barb will be inspired by that view, and working on her newest book! They would make it very fun, giving you a little tour! Stop at the entrance to the State Park for a day pass, and head on up. Beautiful day to be on the Mountain Top!

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!
