Palomar Mountain News

What a beautiful view from Palomar today!  Just had to share! Looking out from Birch Hill, we got to watch it raining down off the East Grade.  It did make it to the top for a little while.  I had to check out the weather forecast for the weekend.  Sunny sky is promised for Saturday!  Woo Hoo!  But you might want to keep things unpluged the rest of the weekend with the lightening that is promised too.

 Every year on the Friday Night before the PMVFD BBQ there is an Awards Dinner for the Firefighters.  This is some of the best eatin’ you’ll have this side of Carolina!  Earl Walls just finished the pork BBQ in his smoker, and has his very famous, mountain-made, Lexington Carolina Coleslaw sauce ready to serve up for ya’ll tomorrow.  Keith Ronchetti was there to help cut it up, and Louise and me?  Well, someone needs to sample, don’t you think? Ohmygoodness!  Sooooo delicious!

Tomorrow night is the Awards dinner and potluck!  Everyone is invited!

Friday, August 31, 6:00

Earl and Louise are providing the pork and coleslaw.  Please bring your favorite appetizer or a desert to share and your appetite!

Danielle Doelman, the BBQ chairman and Volunteer Firefighter, made a slide show of photos and video from this past year….”Life as a firefighter”.  It will be played during dinner.  They you will get to meet the Palomar firefighters as they are given their awards.

See you there!

The North County Times came through with another great article and a nice view of Palomar in the winter from the city.  Of course, we really treasure our snow days, from right up here in the State Park too.

Thanks to Rick Barclay and Michael Walsh for all they have done to help keep the park open.  Be sure to visit Friends of Palomar State Park!

Ok you car buffs, we know there are some wonderful cars hidden away with ties to Palomar.  There is room for about 6 of them at the BBQ on Saturday.  Just let us know, and we’ll have a space for you.

 We’re having fun again!

Those last two postings sold pretty quick!  That 12 acres off Conifer Road had two offers and was spoken for in about 12 hours.  ‘Over the Rainbow’ out on Birch Hill took a little longer – it sold in three days!

The buyers for ‘Back to Nature’ are planning to be in for this weekend’s fun at the Fire Department.  We have had the Bailey Meadow home in escrow twice in the 24 days it has been on the market.  These buyers just finished their inspection and so looking forward to decorating their mountain retreat.

‘Beauty in the Woods’ had a facelift!  The owners had some tree work done and the property groomed  –  what a transformation!  We have ‘guardians’ living there now that have done some clean up work and staged the cabin.  It is just darlin’!  Here are a few new pix on the Cabins page.

A couple more new listings are coming up that are being groomed a bit now so you can take in those views!

What is on the MLS?  Glad you asked!

Here is everything right now on the MLS with a cabin, home or ranch.  Click for all the MLS listings of vacant land.  More pix of most at Palomar Mountain Real Estate.

Glad to open those doors anytime!
