Narrative:

On a flight from poc (brackett) to see (gillespi), sna approach was too busy for VFR flight following through class C clearance of ont class C. So I followed a highway to avoid ont class C. Then I was going to turn southeast to see. I followed the highway too far and found myself in sna class C airspace. Intruded perhaps 4 mi into airspace at 3500 ft. Exited as soon as I realized my mistake.
