Little Billy Shoberg was about eight years old when this photo was taken in the 1930's. Dad, Mom, and Sis were sitting on the  front of their Pierce Arrow outside their cabin on Palomar.  The family still has that cabin --and the car--and they are on their way  back up with lots of friends!  Bill and his daughter Linnea are volunteers with their Pierce Arrow Society,  hosting a National Car Club Tour with a fun day planned on Palomar:   www.pierce-arrow.org

This coming Tuesday, June 23, 2009, you will be able to see approximately 80 of the "finest motor cars ever made" right here on the mountain top!  The Shoberg family made it up in the snow decades ago so the group should really enjoy their beautiful summer day drive planned this week.  Since there is such a large group, they will take the Observatory tour in two shifts.  The ladies will be all dolled up in vintage clothing and love to shop!  You'll see them at the General Store and then everyone will head to the Round House for lunch.  (The catered lunch is just for their group of about 180 people).  You are welcome to come by and see these rare motorcars a little before noon. 

Directions to Round House Ranch:  Take State Park Road to Fern Meadow Road, turn right. (Fern Meadow is directly across from the entrance to the County Road Station.) Go to the top and turn right at the big wall. Follow that up to the first level area on the right. Please park there unless you are driving a vintage car.  You are welcome to pack a picnic lunch and come enjoy seeing the cars. Don't forget your camera!  ~Bonnie and Don
