Personally, I prefer pubic access sites.

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.
