I just called the CLP Office at (408) 842-7800 (park office).
The _recording_ said the road to the boat launch was closed
M-F, but was open weekends.
My read, is that astronomy at the paved boat launch area is
alive and well, but, alas, I'd feel better if a live breathing
ranger could verify.
Considering the cold and wet, maybe CLP offers a better
alternative to FP: Paved and lower elevation.
