Ugh! I think I screwed up…I feel pretty bad, especially while rereading Kevin’s post #12

I was under the impression that pit 3 would be down by Erindera. Because that’s here we saw a lot of other teams pitting last year.
I’m traveling with My family (wife and two kids 13 and 11) we are camping in the popup. Our plan is to leave Santa Barbara early Friday morning at 3:00AM and arrive at Ensenada in time to secure parking and walk through Contingency then head to a camp spot and stay put until Sunday morning. When we would break camp and head straight home.
I read my note from Jonathan and he’s not camping at pit three. I don’t think my family would have much fun camping at the side of the hwy 1 Friday and Saturday nights especially if we are the only ones there. Dave, are you camping at Estero Beach? Maybe we could camp there and then drive back and forth to the race. Being at the beach is a big plus because there is a lot to do while waiting for the race.
Could we camp at Valle De Trinadad and try to make it to pit #3?
One thing we could do is set up a pit # 2.5 just north of Erindera. We have a race radio generator, tools, halogen lights etc. we could put out a sign and if you need us we are there, if not you can just race by. Being at the beach is a big plus because there is a lot to do while waiting for the race.
I don’t want to be a flake, I’m just not sure how to balance family fun with race fun. Anybody have some suggestions on how I can make this work out?
