    Hi Ed,

    We usually observe at either the Lone Rock Flat trailhead, or Grey
    Pine Flat. These are on Rockpile Rd, past the bridge over the lake.
    About a 1/2 mile beyond Lone Rock is a campground, which others have
    used for overnight stays.

    The directions to Lake Sonoma on the TAC website are good enough to
    get you to the park, I don't know of any on line maps, but maps are
    available from the visitors center.

    Basic directions are:

    Take 101 N through Santa Rosa up to Healdsburg/Geyserville area.
    Take the Canyon Rd exit, it has a sign to Lake Sonoma. Go left under
    the freeway, and follow Canyon Rd, unitl it ends at a T with Dry
    Creek Rd. Go right, and follow Dry Creek until it comes to the park
    (at it's end). Go through the main visiting/park area, and follow
    the road up into the hills. After a few miles there is a junction,
    with Skaggs Spring Rd & Rockpile Rd. Go straight though the
    intersection onto Rockpile Rd, down the hill and over the bridge.
    About a mile or so up the other side is Grey Pine falt, and another
    Mile further on is Lone Rock.

    cheers,
    Robert.
