Going Over Onion Saddle
November 18, 2006
Up to another beautiful day. We spent the day working on paperwork, printing calendars, making up new business cards, printing and cutting them, making Christmas presents and relaxing. Other campers; ones with children frolicking in the woods, ones practicing their bagpipes and banjo, ones in trailers and ones in tents joined us.
We departed about 3pm and worked our way up the gravel narrow National Forest road. We past more dispersed camping areas. The creek has water in it from time to time. Once we even had to cross the stream going across the road. We had to drive slow so we didn’t get rattled apart. That means between 4-9mph. We came to a big crossroads; 18 miles to Portal. We found
the road similar to drive in and out of where JMe is buried. The trip up the hill is okay because we are on the inside of the hill We have past a few vehicles and they are on the outside; the straight down fall off the road side. 
We got up to Onion Saddle, the pass at 7600 feet and began our decent down the mountain road. We wiggled and twisted and on the valley floor we found a place to pull over by South Fork Creek so we spent the night. Movie was Lord of the Rings Return of the King.
