Accommodations
There are several options for Air BnBs in the Indio, CA (15mins to Thermal, CA track vs. 45mins from Palm Springs)
I found a good AirBnB that’ll be about $1000 total for the 3 nights
Rental Car
Ian will rent a car and drive from SLO (this will be a bit cheaper/faster than flying from SLO).
