San Diego to Palm Desert
Discussion
I am working in Palm Desert for a week, normally fly into LAX and Drive I10. But this time I am flying in San Diago and as I have a free (ish) day on Monday. I wanted to explore a little on the ride up.
Was thinking of heading to Salton Sea - interesting and deserted dead lake with abandoned resorts. Also thinking of stopping in to Anza-Borrego if there is anything in the desert to see.
Basically has anyone been that way and is there something interesting to see???

Errmm I used to live near there. I seem to recall bits of hwy 74 were fun in an Elise.
Lots of windmills near the north end of Palm Springs. Some excellent Mexican restaurants in Palm Springs. Road surfaces were awful as I recall. I took the kids to some lawn mower racing out near Anza but it probably wont coincide with your timing.
Used to be an air museum in Palm Springs (looks like it's still there), but the one at Balboa Park in San Diego is quite good.
Howard Keel (aka Adam Pontipee) used to live in Palm Springs if you like a bit of inspiration to sing in the car...

Thanks for the reply
I know 74 well and it is amazing fun running out of Palm Desert up in to the mountains. Planning on the aviation museum one evening in Palm Springs. Been out that way 4 times already.
What I am trying to find out is the area south and around Salton Sea etc - not been up that way before.
Will be working in Palm Desert and Thermal at the track so south and west of there.
Will only be landing in SD and spending one night before heading out.
