When I grew up in the 50s and 60s in SoCal, we had Nike Missile installations, and they were underground to begin with.

One was near the ridge, of the Puente Hills between LaHabra Heights and Brea.

yep. I grew up in Brea. My backyard overlooked the Brea Mountains. I will always remember the two giant white balls on the hilltop. From what I was told they were the Nike base radar units.
