Currently, it costs $8.00 (yeah, eight bucks) per day just to _park_ in the 
lot adjacent to a popular surfing/swimming/paddling spot at one of the CA 
State parks down where I have been staying this summer (Cardiff by the 
Sea).  Yet, it is regularly full and has no room, from about 10 am onward.

The response by many is to park adjacent to heavily traveled Hwy 101 about 
300-400 yards away and carry/roll boards, yaks, etc., along the roadside in 
the bike lane ... to the beach.

The real problem is that there are just to freaking MANY of us!
