Palomar Mountain News

   Wild pigs are alive and well on Palomar!  Their hoof prints are wider than long.  I took a while back on some land up here.  They can sure made a mess.  Click for Union Tribune’s recent article: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2011/jun/01/forest-service-and-blm-plan-exterminate-countys-wi/

 Thanks to all who sent links for the latest great J. Harry Jones article in the Union Trib about Boucher Lookout.  Wow, I didn’t know it was a treasure saved in the 2007 fire!  Great job!  Click for the story.

  Enjoy another lovely poem from Kathy inspired by a summer day on our favorite Mountain.  Thank you Kathy!

  Palomar Summer

On Palomar the summer day 

Is splashed with gold and green

The sky above is azure

The air is crisp and clean.

The bees are making honey

The squirrels and chipmunks play

Wildflowers scent the gentle breeze

Which cools the hottest day.

We gather at the general store

Or plan to take a hike

We bring a picnic to the park

There’s plenty here to like.

Still later, when the sun goes down

We sit outside and gaze

While countless stars and constant moon

Keep their appointed ways.

You may come for our bar-b-que

Or just to get away

You only plan a visit…

I predict you’ll want to stay!

Like every year, we need volunteers. Have you signed up yet?
