That's exactly what I meant when I wrote, perhaps too obscurely,
"I had no problem, I simply thought you [Wilson] had been there and left."

Did the Clampetts install a dive bar at the Newptune Pool at San
Simeon?* I don't remember seeing a swim-up setup in the series.
* At least that's what the Clampetts' pool reminded me of -- but I
haven't found a direct assertion that the Clampetts bought Hearst
Castle. Or that the series used it as its set.
