Palomar Mountain News

Interested in a few hours of part-time work on the mountain?

Are you good at giving a quaint cabin some TLC?

I have a vacation rental cabin that needs cleaning after weekend guests leave  – to ready it for the next visitors.  In the summer there will be more guests and mid-week rentals on a regular basis.  Depending on the schedules, work hours can often be quite flexible, but occasionally there are small time windows between one guest and the next party.

Duties consist of changing out the bedding; straightening up, vacuuming, wipe down surfaces and light cleaning of entryway outside; Usually just 1-2 hours with occasional deep cleaning at times when there is no stress.  Communications, consistency, good will and ability to follow through are the main requirements.

The gal who has valiantly done this job for the last 2 years is leaving the mountain so we need someone new.

Give me a call to learn more. Thanks, Martin  619-871-9354 and  email me too at Reservations@PalomarMountainCabin.com

  NOAA was right!   Woke up to a good foot of snow today!  Like to take a walk in the snow?  Click to see the April Wonderland  Don just plowed so I can get my car out – very fun up here today!

Are you a weekender on your way up the next couple days?  Might want to bring a BIG shovel or call one of the guys to have a parking space plowed for you.  See all at Snow Tips.

  Burrrr!  It is getting cold up here!  A storm is heading our way but there are very different forecasts out there. 

Personally, I prefer National Weather Service because they are predicting SNOW!  Oh you know, one of my all-time favorite songs –  “There is no business like snow business…” (Isn’t that how it goes?):  http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?site=sgx&smap=1&textField1=33.32278&textField2=-116.87778

However, http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/92060 is showing only rain.  (Not near as much fun!)

We’ll see what ends up on the ground and one thing for sure – it will be a beautiful Spring!

Enjoy!

  Someone left this box on our patio last fall.  The note taped to the box is on paper printed with “Palomar Mountain, California” at the bottom and the handwriting says:

Vacation/Family memories

 These need to go to family  🙂

The box is full of wonderful family slides dated mostly in the 1950’s and 1960’s.  I would love to get these to a family member but alas, don’t have a clue who it belongs to.  If you dropped this off at our place, please let me know what cabin it came from and I’ll contact the prior owners. 

Here are a few names – the only names – on the slides:

Dick’s woodwork

Mable’s school projects and doll house

Gay Hewellyn

Llewellyn Lundy

Claude and Virginia

The Pajareses

Thanks!

Just got a call from Shirley Thompson.  She said a horse is loose on the South Grade.  I have had several calls and e-mails about this horse (and a couple goats and dogs ) that have been out on the road about half way up the Grade …  It is pretty foggy now and maybe even a little snow headed our way later tonight so Shirley asked me to pass on that if you are going up or down the mountain, you might want to be extra careful.
