Try Coyote. So far, there seems to be no notice required. Lake Sonoma used to be that way
until quite recently.

  So does this mean that I can send them and e-mail on Saturday and go up that evening? One of the things I am finding a bit frustrating is all of the advanced notices required to observe around here. I am really looking for a place where you don't have to mess with all this advance notice stuff. It would be great to look out the window Saturday morning, see that it is clear out, and then go observing that night. Is there anywhere in the San Francisco area like that? So far, all the places with dark skies have 24-48 hour advanced notification requirements. That kind of makes it near impossible to observe/image considering how unpredictable the weather is around here.

    There are two even newer rangers, Sheryl and Andrea, whose last names
    I need to find out.

    For the FPOA area, we still only go thru Ron Dammann, he tells the rangers.

    Now for the weather from under the mountain. It's sunny in Salinas
    with patchy clouds across the sky. There is still a bank of clouds up
    against the Gabilans (the chain of which our very own Peak is the
    tallest). Stuff's burning off nicely though. I'm definitely heading
    up to be there by 4 or so.

    See y'all there,
