Re: DARC Observatory no longer available.

The difference with DARC, and similar other places like Willow Springs or
Plettstone, is that they
are private property. Lake Sonoma, Fremont Peak, Coe, etc., are pubic access.

I was interested in going to DARC this new moon cycle, but it appears the
situation has somehow
changed, per the e-mail I received.
