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.

My experience with mapquest is that it underestimates the required travel time- and not because I drive real slow or make a zillion pitstops~ has anyone else experienced this? I can't recall details, but I think my trips took about 25% or 30%longer than mapquest had estimated.

I've had bad experience with MapQuest as well. Once it said "take a left turn on unnamed street". Another time its directions essentially read get on a freeway, turn around, and get off the street you came on in the first place. wtf :confused:

Are we still counting votes?

If Chi-town doesn't win...I demand a recount...or at least an official date.

I'm dying to see if I can make this trip work or not...

does flipper have a blow hole....
could be too early but I just remembered that Toto is playing in Coachella on Sept 27...can you say massive vip knucklehead backstage tent welcoming party? I know that is a thurs but Factory tour and clinics in the factory on friday...Knucklehead Jam on friday night including the best Mexican food anywhere. Margarita's, Don Julio Shot's MExican Beer and Club soda and cranberry with an orange and lime slice.

Satuday Golf tournament for whoever wants to play. I will have at least one of my Pga Touring pros there to give a golf clinic and play some holes with each group. Shopping tours, Desert Jeep tour and pool party for non golfers...Saturday night Rock N bowl party with Biff Baby's Allstars. The host hotel would be Fantasy Springs Casino.

To offset the costs involved for you knuckleheads we will pay for all food and all eb organized activities and ONE night of your hotel. You pay the travel and the rest of the hotel and incidentals.

How does that sound?

The only wrench in the deal is Lukes Baby is due the 27th!!!
