    We go to ocotillo every other weekend, during riding season. It's an okay drive, 2 lane hwy, some hills. Can be rough towing a heavy load, but with a boat it shouldn't be bad. Fridays from 4-6, you'll hit a little traffic off the 5 thru the 78, not too bad though.

    Not the most efficient way to go from our locale Mr Royal.........
    Have you taken the 79s, 371,74 10 route??? Thats my way to avoid all the Beaumont/Banning bouncing.
    Main question would be if you're towing anything? IF not thru Ocotillo may be ok.....consider hitting 86n and catch the 10 in Indio vs thru glamis/blythe :idea:

    THAN DRIVE OVER PAL mountain, through lake Hensaw, hang a right go down the twisty roller coaster road with F-ing cows crossing over the road. Hang a left though the canyon were I saw a dude on a crotch rocket die after he over shot a corner. pop into ROCK-A-TEA-AH than maybe over through Indio or the springs......
    on second thought..... you should do this route and report back Tuesday
    Take Ziggy's advise.... its the best way from NC

    I can rip thru that route in the truck and leave most behind.......My brother following in a Beemer couldn't believe it...LOL
    I know, as probably you do, every turn, dip, bump or outcropping there is...
    Drive safe bro and stay away from the twice a year revelers on the lake...
