Palomar Mountain News

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!

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!
