Ventura Highway

 

You have to be over a certain age to relate to Ventura Highway. That is because in the 70's there was a popular song by the band "America" called "Ventura Highway".

 

 

Anyway,

I got to Ventura Highway and it was a very nice reminiscence for me. And I had a room booked for the night at a Motel 6 just off the Highway in Thousand Oaks. I pulled into the motel and started talking to the clerk who was a young man in his twenties.

I mentioned driving on Ventura Highway and that old song (older than him) by the band America.

And he told me a story.

He told me that his mom, who was my age. Loved the band "America" and loved the song Ventura Highway. It made her dream about better places when she was a teenager. And when she turned of age she packed up her stuff without much of a plan other than to drive across country (from Massachusetts) to Ventura Highway here in California.

Wow! I thought. Some people have courage.

Anyway, he told me that she stayed right there and made a life for herself. Soon thereafter he was born.

I did take two minutes of dashcam footage while driving on Ventura Highway. It isn't anything special but if you are a fan of the band and the song you might like to watch it: Ventura Highway (Youtube video - Will open in a new browser window)
