Subject. I'd consider anything inland or along the coast from SF down to
a latitude to Bakersfield or San Luis Obispo.

Lake San Antonio has a great dark sky, especially if you stay in the
overflow campground (no lights there)...

CalStar is held there every fall...

http://astronomy.santa-cruz.ca.us/node/8650

.... details to be available later.

Of course, there are a lot of active observers in the Bay Area, see...

http://observers.org/

.... they observe in lots of different place... and in June there is
GSSP...

http://www.goldenstatestarparty.org/

.... which is the best California star-party by far...

Thanks. It would be good to get some solid facts on various locations
about number of clear days, at least. Clear is good, but does not
always tell the tale of seeing.
