Mapquest or yahoo maps...it does not matter, they all give STUPID directions that are confusing. Can someone give me totally correct instructions or a link to correct instructions coming from the 60? I am right at the 60 and Superstition Springs. I would greatly appreciate it, but even more so my DS would!!! Thanks!!! Once I get there then I can figure out where my hotel is. I am comfortable with the area.

AAA.com even throws in I60 and I215 just to make me crazy (like the others did before). Is there any hope for just a straight shot drive???

Oooohhh how I hate that part. Do I just skip the 60 part? berol said 1-10, 91 then 57 to Katella. I would hate to miss a step and then have to backtrack. Also, do I have to take this Ca 91 Main St.I 215 N or do I just wait for Ca-91 W. ???? I appreciate your clarification guys!!! Thanks!!!!!

But the 91 traffic is still awful. So the last time, we just stayed on the 60 until we got to the 57, and took that south. It was a breeze. I assume you know how to get to the 60. It will join up with the 215 N. Shortly before the 57-S, the 215 will break off, don't take that

Originally Posted By hopemax It usually takes us 6-7 hours, depending on traffic. We're in North Scottsdale, so about 40 minutes of that is just to get to I-10. It's about two hours to the CA border, then two hours until some semblance of civilization (Indio) and then another 2 hours to get through the S. CA traffic mess. Closer to 6 hours on the way home. We have friends that have done it faster, but 80mph is fast enough for me.

(We stop and visit Mom in Escondido) If we didn't stop and goof around, it would take about 7 hours, I imagine.

Originally Posted By MerryMouseWife We drove from Scottsdale taking the 101 to the 202 west to I-10 west. It usually takes 3 hours to get to Blythe, breakfast, then another 3+ hours to Anaheim taking the 91 to the 57 to Katella. Last time, last month, we left our house at 5:30 a.m. and got to our hotel at 12:30 p.m. with about a 40-minute stop in Blythe for breakfast. It almost always takes us 6-1/2 hours going about 80 mph the whole way. Just to add my 2 cents. Merry
Originally Posted By zinaclinger I just still cannot believe that I can simply drive all the on the 10 to the 57. Is that really true???? It just does NOT seem possible. I have always had to make soooo many little turns here and there. Of course this is why we always get turned around and end up in Escondido.
Originally Posted By nickapoohiluvu Just zoomed in on the map at mapquest and it is possible to take I10 to 57, but, in theory, it looks to shave a little bit of time and distance off if you take I10 to 60 to 91 to 57. I10 to 57 forms sort of a little right triangle with the other route. a squared plus b squared equals c squared. Gotta love Pythagorus! It does drive a bit more confusing though. I like taking my husband on the I10 to 60 route just for the challenge.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 The route involving the 91 IS shorter... but depending on the time of day the route that just takes the 10 to the 57 (or the 60 to the 57 without involving the 91) may take less time. The 91 can be a real bear, traffic-wise. (Obviously, any SoCal freeway can be, but the 91 more often than many).
