Would you describe yourself as "driving up to Pittsburgh"? Parts of it are at a noticeable altitude. That's not even that apt of a comparison, since you'd have to cross a couple of mountain ranges to get to Pittsburgh. There's no noticeable change in elevation between L.A. and the Camp Pendleton area on Interstate 5. I'm not sure if I would even generalize people in Los Angeles as driving to Camp Pendleton for a fun weekend jaunt, it being a military base. San Onofre, the state beach/recreation area near Camp Pendleton, I could believe.
