After being out on an adventure around Palomar Mountain for a month, Rosebud is safe and sound. Thanks to the sharp eye of a former neighbor of Holly’s, Terri Sproul. Terri called with the good news. However, her cat and Rosebud never did get along so Rosebud is looking forward to keeping our Hay Barn free of mice. I know some of you out there are glad to hear a happy ending.

Lookout History Tidbits
Hello Lookout Fans,
I am not sure how I discoved this website but it provides historic stories of lookouts in every county in California.
Here is the San Diego County info:
HIGH POINT
November 25, 1938: “Outdoor oddities interest even the most disinterested persons. Being associated with the out-of-doors so constantly, we see many things that may be out of the ordinary for most folks, but even old-timer Lookoutman Ben Moore on Palomar Mountain saw something the other night that was unusual to him.
Ben was restless one night and deciding he would take some exercise, started down the trail towards Sourdough Springs. Just as he rounded the last bend of the rough trail to the spring he came into view of a full-fledged Bobcat “pussy-footin” around a 3 1/2 foot rattler. The indignant buzzing of the rattler’s war drums had caused Ben to slow down almost to a standstill, thereby not detracting the cat’s attention at the moment. He was audience for about one minute to a “Nature Play” that may never be seen again by that individual. The Bobcat was staying about one foot away from the snake and tantalizing it by hissing and spitting at it and feigning occasionally with his left or right paw, thus causing the maddened reptile to strike with lightning-like moves. As fast as the snake was, the cat was faster and would seemingly make clearance by the skin of his teeth. After about one minute, the cat’s intuition told him to look around, so backing away from the snake he looked in Ben’s direction and then hit for the brush.
Ben is elated upon being given a chance to observe this unusual occurence among Nature’s children. – Fred Varney – Cleveland -” (California Ranger)
