Probably, after downing three beers at Kelly's (in the course of keeping the fire from one of Vera's chili combo plates under control), I was camped out in the little park maintained by the Elks Club (or Lions Club?) at the north end of town – across hiway 17 from where the campground is now located.  IIRC, I didn't discover The Shamrock until the late summer or fall of 1972, and at least once that year spent the night in caboose 0503.
