Speaker: Kenneth Frank, Astronomical Society of the Pacific-Dark Sky Network

Even if the day is hot, wear layers as it can chill down at night. And don't forget your flashlights. Please car pool if at all possible. If there is any change in the program due to weather, it will be on the hot line: 415-455-5370 after 4:00pm.

Directions: From Highway 101 take the Highway 1, Stinson Beach exit. At Tam Junction (the first stop light), turn left onto the Shoreline Highway (also called Highway 1). In about 2 miles turn right onto Panoramic Highway. In another 3/4 miles the road splits 3 ways. Take the middle fork. In about 5 miles the Pan Toll Ranger Station will be on your left. Turn right through the gates across the road from the station and continue for about another 1 1/2 miles to the Rock Springs parking area.
