Narrative:

Southbound on descent into palomar one mile past the vista reporting point. Silver drone traveling opposite direction passed very close by. No time for evasive action. Reported incident to the tower controller within about one minute. Tower advised other traffic to be on lookout and asked that I call tower on landing. I did as requested and they said that a report would go to the FAA. Never received a call back. Tower did advise that a permit request for drone activities was approved for the general area of the sighting that day but the altitude limit was set to 400 ft; over 1;000 feet lower than where we observed the [drone].
