I haven't seen him post anything in a long time, and don't know why, but I do know he is San Diego. I know he has parking, but I don't know about the distance etc. <BR/>Also how far is Solano Beach from where you need to be? I have a connection there who maybe of help!

Perhaps for a small donation and press on your blog you can arrange a temporary stay? We always stay way out in Portero when in hte area. I have a friend in Encinitas but she's too far away. How about Kaiser Hospital (don't know if it is nearby)?<BR/><BR/>http://www.zacsunderland.com/blog/Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11262700116262217636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-40342499636352897732009-01-23T17:49:00.000-05:002009-01-23T17:49:00.000-05:00Thanks, everyone. Let me clarify a few things:The...Thanks, everyone. Let me clarify a few things:<BR/><BR/>The RV park you mentioned is the "closest commercial park" to which I was referring when I said it was 20 minutes away (how long it takes to drive the 7.5 road miles, with traffic lights). That's too far, for several reasons: It means taking an hour out of the middle of each day, and another hour out of each evening, to make the round trip to walk the dog -- two hours we will be missing something we've paid for. It also means we have a 20-minute drive home through city traffic after ending the day with a few glasses of wine. Lastly, based on the speed limits and traffic, as I said, it's not doable on Louise's scooter, making it a total PITA.<BR/><BR/>The TrawlerFest people don't have any kind of "in" with anyone other than the resort they've booked for the show. We already spoke to them, as noted, and they turned us down.<BR/><BR/>Lastly, I've already done all the Google Earth research and probably know every parking lot belonging to every business on Shelter Island. And, yes, I will be contacting many of them in the next few days. Without some sort of inside track, however, I don't expect anything to come of that. For example, one parking lot in reasonable scooter distance belongs to the San Diego Yacht Club, but without being a member there or at some affiliated club, they're not even going to discuss it with me.<BR/><BR/>BTW, the majority of what looks like prime RV parking on the island, and is even full of RVs in the current Google Earth image, is actually part of the Port of San Diego park there. That park observes very strict closing hours between 10:30pm and 6am -- no overnight parking. I do plan to contact the Port, but, again, without some kind of inside track, I don't expect that to get me anywhere.<BR/><BR/>So, again, my request is that if you are either the owner of a parking space on Shelter Island or within a mile or two of the causeway, or you personally know someone who is, please contact us.<BR/><BR/>-SeanSeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930398671280529448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-35573565148785513152009-01-23T17:18:00.000-05:002009-01-23T17:18:00.000-05:00Urban style RV park, full hookups, large sites, op...Urban style RV park, full hookups, large sites, open sky. Westerly sites face Mission Bay. Located about 1 mile west of I-5, exit #22 n/b or #28 s/b, turn west on N. Mission Bay Road, south on De Anza Road.<BR/>Location is less than 10 miles north of Shelter Island via surface roads and bridges over Mission Bay.
