Thanks for the responses. Keep them coming if someone knows anything or someone in the area.
There are no available spots near the west gate in the parks employee spots, that's why we are looking, if we go back there is a good chance we could get one for the second year forward. Not worried about eating up the wages, we are in this to break even and spend our summers where we like to be. Plus, the job is only four days a week, so at least not a 5 day commute. And my workday will start at 0430-0500 each day, so traffic is not an issue.
Might consider the 13-15 mile drive in from valley view, but hoping to find a secret spot, there are some up there, that might be coming open for whatever reason.
