If you look at the picture on the DC emails thread you will see there were no trees in the way. There is a fence that extends behind the first house on Hopespring which was owned by a Gonzales and the fence extends down the road to the remains site. The remains site is no where near the school but directly on the other side of that fence. In the picture you can see what looks like a car parked in the remains site area with a clear view down towards Hopespring. No trees are in the way, just a grassy area with a pond. She could have very easily parked her car their everyday waiting for her father to leave. This picture gives you a good idea of how KC could have been sitting there under the shade of the trees behind her.
Plus a neighbor had reported seeing a white car like KC's back into that area. It was a known place for her to go as a child seems perfectly natural that she would pick a familiar place to sit and watch for dad to leave. And haven't we all wondered where she would go with NO GAS. Sounds like down the street was a perfect solution. jmo
I was kidding about the camera.
Ahhhhhh, thanks for clearing that up. I was envisioning she parked her car directly in front of the tree line where Caylee was found, not further down where you are describing. Makes sense now in the morning hours for me, lol.
