Palomar Mountain News

 A Mountain Lion on Palomar seems a little too comfortable around houses and people. Thanks to Dan Waite who took these pix up at our Round House.  Great photographer!  Click to see more.  Be sure your doors are closed securely as this lion seems to like pawing around doors. Neighbors on Bailey Road heard the lion pawing at their water heater door – thankfully not their front door that opens in!  I’ve had quite a few people say they’ve seen a lion cruising the top of the mountain near cabins.  The State Park Office has a great brochure on what to do if you see a Lion.  There is also a lot of info on line.

  Like star gazing? You’ll love the views from this land!  Totally unobstructed views to the east and the southwith Warner’s Valley, Lake Henshaw, and the Leguna Mountains from six acres out on Birch Hill.  There is about a foot of snow on the ground now but we’re guarenteed a parking spot.  So click for more info,  and put your boots on and let’s go for a hike!

Cecilia Borland just told me they have about a foot of snow at their farm out on Birch Hill.  That is a lot of snow  to walk through to feed all those goats, chickens, and sheep tonight.  You now have the latest from the Mountain top and here’s the latest from the Union Tribune via Rosemary.

Many of you know Mike and Sue Stevens – weekend neighbors on Palomar.  Mike is a California spokesperson for the Lung Cancer Alliance.  Might want to listen up…

From: Mike Stevens  Subject: San Diego Lung Cancer Walk

I am writing this email from a bed in the hospital ER. I have just found out that I have two blood clots in my lungs and will probably have to be on blood thinners the rest of my life. A simple two shots a day in the stomach. To say lung cancer is not fun is an understatement. 1 out of 3 people that die of cancer, die of lung cancer. While the funding for breast cancer has once again risen, it has fallen for lung cancer. This really is sad do to the fact twice as many women die of lung cancer than breast cancer.

I hope you can help out supporting me in the 3rd annual San Diego Breath of Hope Lung Cancer Walk on May 1st by joining my team or making a donation. We won’t win the war on cancer until we can tackle lung cancer. I also want to thank everyone who has walked with me and donated during the past two years.
