Exactly the opposite for me! I was raised on a small ranch in a then rural area near Thousand Oaks.
I have rafted or kayaked 90% of the rivers in California so I have spent some time in the Cal-Boonies.
When I was stationed at North Island we would take topo maps with us and look for really rural areas to camp; motorcycle in some cases, trucks in others. Flying in California, especially in an H-60, is a visual over load at times....Yosemite, China Lake, the Sierras, etc.: From the Palm Trees to the Pines:
Camp Pendleton had a low level route along the beach called, I think, Long Rifle. It was amazing to fly below the Dune Line at times.
Cue "The Way We Were".
