76 East to 15N
to Winchester Rd (Hwy 79) North
to Domenegoni Parkway, Right (East)
to Sanderson, left (North) all the way thru
Hemet and San Jacinto (still called Hwy 79) thru Lambs Canyon
to I-10 East
to Desert Center...to Parker, I'm sure you know the way from there :)

Looks like going to the 371 to 74 would be quicker no?

i go this way too! but usually take the 78 e instead of the 76, i like the freeway better than the little two lane highway!

the only problem with the 78 is its 30 min longer
you can take the
76 east
15 north
60 east
the 60 turns into the 10 east, then exit rice rd.
the only thing better with 79 (winchester rd) is you dont have to go up the big hill on the 60

There is no way that taking the 76 to the 15 is 30 minutes faster from the 5 & 78, than taking the 78 E to the 15 N. There are just way too many signals and if you get behind a big rig, a granny or an idiot, you're doing 45mph at best.
Also the 15 to the 215 to the 60 will shave off a boatload of time vs. staying on the 15 to the 60.
Lastly, Rice Rd may be faster, but I hate that stretch of road, whether pulling a trailer or not.
JMHO, I guess everyone has their prefered way. :rollside:

I'll have to check that out, as they have great food with a nice view.
I like Belle Floure in the outlet mall. $20 for all you can eat breakast buffet and bottemless Mimosa. Make sure to try the ribs. :cool:
