Photo Tour of Boucher Lookout as it is today! Stay tuned!
Brad Ells was very involved with his kids playing sports on weekends. When that ended, he needed a new project. Brad and his wife Tami came up to Palomar one day and visited the Observatory. Looking out from the parking lot he happened to see the old High Point Lookout and inquired about it. That was the beginning of what is now a newly refurbished High Point Lookout.
He has now volunteered to work toward preserving and restoring Boucher as a fire Lookout once again. Where is Boucher? You go through the State Park and it is up on the left looking out across the entire county. When Brad and his wife Tami were up a while back, we got to go see their first accomplishments and that fabulous view! Click for a photo tour and THANKS BRAD for all you have done and are doing for our favorite mountain! It will be great to hear of your progress!

Panorama at Boucher on the way by Ernie Cowan
Had a fun phone call a couple of months ago from Michael Rogers with the State Park down in Borrego. He explained that they had commissioned Ernie Cowan to take a panorama for an Interpretive Board outside Boucher Lookout. He asked me to call when it looked like it was going to be clear about 9 am or so for Ernie to come up for the photos. I can often see the Carlsbad power plant from my desk but was watching to see the islands out there too. Finally a few weeks ago when we had those strong winds, I gave Michael a call. Ernie and Katie came up on a perfect day. I followed them out to get pictures of the photographer to share with you about this nice addition heading our way. Katie called tonight and mentioned that they had come up for another photo shoot so I asked her to write-up a little about their project.
We’ll let you know when it is ready to enjoy! Bonnie Phelps
From: Katalin Cowan kt2c@packtrain.com
At the request of the State Park we have spent a couple of days at Boucher Lookout trying to capture one of those transparent days. The goal is to create a panoramic photograph that will be used for a display at the new overlook platform. The display will mark visual points of interest so visitors will be able to identify the things they can see from this breathtaking vantage point. While Ernie was involved in the technical concentration of capturing the multi-image panorama, Kati was wandering in the woods communing with nature capturing some of the early spring beauty. All the best, Kati Cowan

Free Garden Water Fountain
This went quick! Still looking for someone who would like the free stove: https://palomarmountainnews.wordpress.com/2010/03/30/free-gas-stove/
Like a water fountain? The owners of one of our listings are letting this go for free. Might not be as terrific with our Mountain snow but thinking someone might want to pick this up for your home in the city? It presently does not have the electrical run to the system but was working when electrical was operational. May need a new pump? You’ll need a couple strong guys and can pick it up in Escondido. Simply call and I’ll head you in the right direction. Bonnie Phelps 760 742-1742
