IMHO, it should still be there, just a little more magic!

I remember well going through those orange groves in the early days, up from Camp Pendleton. We've GOT to get his little house opened up again. He's probably been homeless or hanging out in a churro cart. Faith and begorrah! Bring back Patrick's home! (Thanks so much for the information, Tiki)

I entered the park at night and it blew my mind since that night we have been on 11 DL trips and planning our 12th this Oct.
