One more thing to watch for on the way back. The Archibald Avenue exit from I-10 is a SPUI, one of
the few in California. |

This is a good route if (and only if) your destination is Palm Springs proper. The OP is going to Indian Wells (as he mentioned in another post). Exiting at CA-111 will add an hour or so of unpleasant driving. CA-111 is a d**ned slow commercial street from downtown Palm Springs all the way to Indio. If you're headed to any point east of Palm Springs, it's much better to stay on I-10. Washington Street is usually the best exit for Indian Wells or La Quinta; depending on just where the OP is going, there may be a better choice. -- Chris Green |

My Hotel is right on Frank Sinatra Ave. That works too. A really cute retro place to visit is the Shields Date Garden, on 111 near Washington. Good place to buy really good dates in quantity. Also, if you play golf, you're on your way to golfer's paradise. -- Chris Green |
