To reach the departure point, please take I-15S (from LA/OC/SB) or I-15N (from SD) and exit at SR-79S to Indio. Go east on SR-79S until you reach the Ralph's Supermarket at Butterfield Stage Road and SR-79S. Here is the address to the market:

The route to Idyllwild will be east on SR-79 to SR-371, north on SR-371 to SR-74, west on SR-74 to SR-243 (the Idyllwild turnoff), north on SR-243 to I-10, then west on I-10 to San Bernardino. There we will have a meal at Outback Steakhouse. Here is the address to Outback:

There may not be many stops on this cruise for restrooms breaks, as we are traveling through mountain areas. If anyone feels the need to stop and rest, please inform the cruise leader and we'll see what we can do.
SCPOC advises the use of hand held FRS walkie-talkies with privacy channels during our cruises. This helps keep things coordinated with the caravan and prevents anyone from getting lost.
Please download the attached itinerary, which includes a copy of this text with detailed maps covering large stretches of the drive. It is available in
Microsoft Word or
Adobe PDF format.
Hope to see you there.
