Back at last

A few years ago I learned about overnight camping in lots 11 and 12 on the jetty in Oceanside. It gets crowded on weekends when the weather is nice, but I still like it. It makes me feel like I’m a young dude partying at the beach.

The past few times I tried staying here, the lots were shut down for either some type of construction or for events. Rats. But the construction is done and there are no events at the moment, so here I am.

One thing has changed since the last time I was here. This lot—lot 12, the one with the view—is now closed between 2 AM and 5 AM, even if you have an overnight permit. So I’ll be moving to the less scenic lot 11 before I go to sleep. No big deal. There’s no view anyway when my eyes are closed.

    "There’s no view anyway when my eyes are closed." Now there's a universal truth worth remembering. Especially when you need to spend the night parked inside a place like AM Solar during an install.

    If it is designated as an overnite lot what possible reason could they have to close it for 3 hours in the middle?

      I can only guess, and probably incorrectly. Maybe the before-work surfers complained their favorite parking spots were filled with campers. Maybe they wanted to prevent all-night partying. Maybe it's when they send in the street sweeper. Beats me.
