I did a great California and desert road trip last year. Started in Vegas, drove to San Diego, went to LA and Hollywood, up to San Francisco, then up to Lake Tahoe and back to Vegas. Good times!

I need to make a tough decision here, the forum get together or NAMM in January.

Hey do both, you're more than welcome to hang out with the Psycho's for a few months. I've got two houses; if you get tired of city life here in GSO, a little Virginia mountain air would do you good!

I’m serious Colin.

 

[Sub1 Zero]

Anyone considered Oklahoma City? I know it sounds like me just trying to be cheap, but it's really awesome there. Not to mention Bricktown

And hey, it's in the center of the US too, and it's a pretty clean and safe place.

I'm speechless, that is a lovely offer thank you. How good are the people here? I'll call you...

I love Oklahoma, and Bricktown ROCKS! Have you ever eaten at Zio's?

Come on Sub, take the chance to leave Oklahoma while you've got it!

 

[Sub1 Zero]

Zio's is the bomb, I can put away one of those brick-oven pizzas in a flash

 

[Jodizzle]

Where's Oklahoma again??

hehe j/k sub1! Fo real though ... take Beth's advice .. get out of OK and come visit us!!

When I go to one of my favorite airline's websites to look for plane tickets, I don't see Desert. Sorry for the naivite, but are we talking Palm Springs?

 

[Big Poppa]

palm springs is the airline but usually more expensive and requires a connection. LAX is a two and 1/2 hour drive , Burbank 2 + ONtario 75 minutes san diego 2.5

 

[roburado]

If it's either SLO or the desert, I believe I'm going to have to use LAX. Only LA area airport to which I could get a straight flight. (SD is too far, especially if I make it a trip to visit family in the area as well.)

 

[oddjob]

Do we have any idea on dates yet????

 

[tiffles]

yeah if its the first week of oct i could MAYBE swing it.... id have to skip croatia trip tho.

i fly to aus on the 16th.

Also Orange County has an airport (John Wayne/Santa Ana) maybe 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours away.

 

[Beth]

(John Wayne/Santa Ana) maybe 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours away.

ummmm only if it's 3am and you're driving 90 mph... But Keith's a wild man, people! Who's gonna ride with Keith?

 

[kbaim]

Is it more? Maybe it is.
I make it to the CA/AZ border in about 3 hours from Laguna.

 

[roburado]

Mapquest says 1:59 from SNA to the Coachella office. 1:42 from SNA to Palm Springs (using PSP airport as reference). Of course, none of this takes into account traffic, most of which will probably be southwest of Corona. East of Corona, I would think it's not as big an issue, but then again, it's a weekend. People might be trying to get out of town. I don't know if it's still like this, but I-15 to Vegas was often jammed when it rolled past Victorville and Apple Valley where my mom lives. Don't know if the same thing holds true for the Palm Springs/Joshua Tree/29 Palms area.

The route that Mapquest is giving me is basically the following:
CA 261 N to
CA 241 N to
CA 91 E to
CA 60 E to
I-10 E.

 

[Psychicpet]

cool.... I won't be able to make it as it's a busy month BUT my vote, if I was able to make it, would be 'Rocktoberfest in Palm Strings' , BPs stomping grounds and not to mention being able to wrap everything in Kevin's office in saran wrap!!!
