Fun outing to step back in time!

Like to step back in time a bit?  Might want to stop in on your way up or down the Mountain:

Don was driving by the Cafe by last week with our 3-year-old grandson.  Judah said, “Granddaddy, I’m hungary, let’s get some eggs and bacon”.  That little guy knows where to get a good breakfast!  Well, of course they pulled in and had to have biscuits and gravy too!  Yum!

Need your driveway plowed?

   

No job to small for the local snow plow guys!  Yes, that is our very cute grandson having a wonderful time! But, he is very busy!  If you need plowing, you might want to call one of the other Snow Plow Guys on the Mountain Yellow Pages:  http://www.palomarproperties.com/yellowpages

Sleds-in-Waiting! Now maybe 20 inches?

 

Ok, the sleds are waiting for some kids-of-all-ages to pop by!  For those of you who don’t have the luxury of simply looking out to see this absolutely beautiful snow, it is comin’ down!  I took these pix about an hour ago and now have about 5 inches at our place.

Here is a tip:  Unless you are a resident or property owner up here, don’t even think of coming up here without chains and a 4 wheel drive.  Snow plow is not even out yet.

Here are some more tips for you:  http://www.mypalomarmountain.com/snow/

And, the latest weather report has changed to total about 20 inches:  Woo Hoo!  http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?site=sgx&smap=1&textField1=33.32278&textField2=-116.87778

More smoke and SNOW this week

See note from Wes below – and yes, we may have snow too!  See the weather report here.

From: Ruise, Wes -Forest Service

Update on the Fry Creek project, we were able to burn some piles this week in preperation of broadcast burning burning next week Feb. 27 thru March 1.

With broadcast burning, it means more fuel consumption and more smoke in the area, we are looking at, at least 100 acres of down and dead fuels.

As usual, this is all dependant on the weather, it is supposed to be a little cooler this week.

Crestline Mountain Lion

From: Lafe and Karalee Ball

Sent: Saturday, February 25, 2012 12:58 AM

Karalee and I had to run up to the cabin tonight to pick up some stuff. When we were driving out on Crestline Road about 11:20 pm and we happened upon lion trotting down the road. He trotted ahead then took a right turn between Kym McClary’s cabin and the Rutlinger’s cabin to the east. He was a great looking cat a 8-8.5″ and probably went 150-175 lbs and was not scared of us in the car. Just wanted everyone to know to be on the lookout.

Have a great weekend, L&K
