Now I remember, Eric:

We had relatives living in Big Bear and they picked us up in their plane at a little dusty airstrip near Santa Clarita and we flew right over Ventura on our way to Solvang. Passed the Goodyear Blimp on our way home.

Thanks for clarifying "haunting" for me... I was getting ready for a career to equal Boris Karloff... LOL! I also remember the California traffic. Here in West Mayberry, population 2025 including cats and dogs, traffic is usually a breeze.

Have a great weekend. ----Dave
