yup, no parking in the ocean beach parking lot after
either midnight or two am (i forget which).  they
drive around about a half hour before with a loud
speaker telling people to get ready to leave.
sometimes they actually ticket if your still there
after the time. its a good parking lot to park in for
the sunset tho, and also for early evening.  only
thing is dont park near somebody having a beach fire
right near the breaker wall.  i did this a few weeks
ago, and put up the pop top, which then proceeded to
act like a funnel for channeling the smoke into the
van.  i sort of noticed it at the time, but when i
drove home later that night i felt really dizzy and a
bit nasueas (sp?).  van smelled like campfire smoke
for days afterwards.  not necessarily a bad smell,
just a bit overwhelming.
