[Elecraft] QRP and Camping/Back packing in the Bay Area

[Todd]

I've  done Diablo several times, usually right before Pacificon.  The 
one time I did North Peak,
it was worse RF wise than Diablo.  I also found that most times I'd be 
the only one up there
after dark, with the exception of the Park Ranger, and even he was 
scarce after dark  ;-)

Iffen I recall correctly, they close the entrance gate after 8pm and 
you'll have almost the
whole park to your self...

How about Angel Island?   That's a spot on my bucket list one of these 
days.  Black Mtn
comes to mind also.  SOTA peak and a hike in campground there as well, 
W6/NC-150:

Have fun and GL!
