We finally got here. And in those days I had a key to the front gate out there, and it was a big iron gate and a mud road, which is now Murieta Parkway. ... We shut the gate, drove in and saw what is now Number 11 and he said, 'You got one pretty good looking hole here.' And I said, 'Wait till you see the other 17.' " --
