I think another night is needed since I can't really compare my Saddle
Mountain trip with Dirt Road. I think Saddle Mountain is easier to get to
(a lot less driving on dirt / gravel roads), and maybe is just a tad bid
darker than Dirt Road, but with the weather, it's hard to say for sure.
Saddle Mountain seems to have less small town clutter on the horizon
(although the hill at Dirt Road hides Arlington etc pretty well). One
drawback is the late night traffic at Saddle (a couple of members have
reported late night drive-bys), but on the other hand, Dirt Road is just off
the Agua Caliente road and it too could suffer from late night drivers.
I think we need a good, clear night at Dirt Road before we can say for sure
which of the two is better, if either.

OK those who stuck it out and have been to both sites: Opinions? Pro/Cons?
Since the wx wasn't ideal would another night (Dec) at Dirt Rd be useful
before deciding?
