Great pictures! Wish I was on that cruise. I'm still waiting for "marginally acceptable" weather so I can take an extended cruise. Thanks for sharing the photos.

What a blast you all had! Can't wait for it to warm up a bit more and be able to drive more! Beautiful area for a cruse!
Thanks, Glenn

Hi Phil...run route was last minute adjustment for avoiding heavier snow in Idyllwild...(Cal Trans site said snow chains required)...I called friend in Anza and he said roads were open...so we went thru Anza to Palm Springs.....
