:waitasec:Good! We have a pulse. Lots of good ideas. Old Steve, one of the speculations about the J.C. bag was indeed that two, not one person, had handled it but no one thought about secreting it from the delightful cat family because we had not met them yet. Your suggestion sure fits. And if you are right, we can only guess that it was originally not very far from the cacti and shed. Certainly not fields and fields away.
I did scout the golf courses considered convenient to Morgan Hill. One is Coyote Creek at 1, Coyote Ck. Dr. with a approach from the road crossing 101 and another access at Bailey. Bailey crosses 101 also and to the east of that freeway are some unimproved dirt hills with convoluted topography.
Another course is CordeValle at 1 CordeValle Dr., San Martin. Plenty of access and dirt hills surrounding it. The Eagle Ridge Golf Course is in a populated setting in Gilroy. (2951 Club Dr.)
Then, there is the Gilroy Golf Course just north of Heckler Pass Rd. (Hy 152) and that setting is not heavily populated.
There are also the Sta. Teresa and the Cinnabar in San Jose to the west of Morgan Hill but the investigation is discounting that huge city for now.
