We will be burning on the Cotton wood fuel break tomorrow Tuesday the 3rd and possibly Wednesday the 4th also.

The cotton wood is north of highpoint lookout, and west of Oak Grove.

the smoke should move away from the mountain out to the east.

for any questions, you can call me at 619-322-1005

Thank you, Wes Ruise

Deal to keep Palomar park open almost done

PALOMAR MOUNTAIN

An agreement to keep Palomar Mountain State Park open for the next three years is just days away from being finalized, and the popular DoaneValleyCampground will reopen by mid-April, a park official said last week.

The campground was shuttered in October due to the state’s financial troubles, but Nedra Martinez, superintendent for Palomar and Cuyamaca Rancho state parks, said that extra seasonal funding was found that will allow the campground to reopen no later than April 13.

Reservations are not yet being accepted but should be soon.

The campground, a favorite of local campers for decades, is being cleaned up now, and park aides are being hired, Martinez said.

Meanwhile, anagreementbetween anonprofit groupand the state that will allow the park to stay open for the next three years is awaiting signatures before taking effect.

The park had been one of 70 in the state slated for permanent closure come July 1.

The earthquake that was apparently centered on the Mountain woke us up last night, lotsa shaking and noise.  All is well at our place – hope everyone else faired the same.  Here is the scoop:   http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/dyfi/events/ci/11086258/us/index.html

  We started off with wonderful soup at Mother’s Kitchen for lunch, then decided to take a few pix for you.  Home for some time in front of the fire, then headed down tonight to the Round Up for ribs.  Could not resist stopping along the way.  Quite lovely up here.   Enjoy your view from my lens . . .

    Go ahead, INDULGE!

The owners of this charming cabin sent these pix taken late this afternoon.  They LOVE every minute at their cabin. Those prints are the pups who beg to come up and go for walks in the woods.   The remodeling is finished the remodeling is finished, it is decorated to the max, and would like to take on a bigger one!  Now is your chance!

It looks like we are headed to maybe less than half the snow predicted so it is easy to run around, open the doors and cure your Cabin Fever!
