[at-l] Pen Mar Park

[DTimm65344@aol.com (DTimm65344@aol.com)]

Can't speak for today, but last October the answers were no (at) and yes 
(near).  PenMar is a county park open dawn to dusk only (hence the 
interesting parking arrangements that must be made to ensure your car is not 
locked in for the night).  The open space across from the park, where we got 
permission to park overnight on our section hike, has no camping option that 
I could see.  You are surrounded on three sides by streets, houses and 
streetlights.

Devils Racecourse shelter is about four miles south (that's near for me, 
YMMV).  Would not advise stealth camping immediately south of the park as it 
is reportedly routinely patrolled all hours due to teenage and other 
hanggliders.
