Started as a random "lets find snow" trip with a good friend of mine. She just finished her last final for the semester and decided she wanted to go do something. So we decided Palomar Mountain it is. Didn't expect there to be much snow, but we were hoping for more than this. Oh well We still got to see parts of the mountain we have never seen.
So after searching around on the mountain, seeing tiny patches of snow, PLENTY of young deer, and taking a few pictures, we decided it was time to head down again. Here is the two pictures I took from our stops.

So I see a sign at the top that says Nate Harrison grade road, and thinking to myself I knew there was a road with that name at the bottom. We started to go down it, and after a quarter mile or so I was about to turn around because the road up top was super washed out, then I saw a Park employee and asked him if it was a safe trip to go down this way. He informed me that it was and asked if we had any Beer or smokes we could give him. Both of us are underage and neither of us smoke, so we had to tell him we didnt. He said it was fine and said when we get home we should look up the history of the road.
