Steve: You doing the HST or a variant? 
Salty: 
It's the HST variation:   HST to Kaweah Gap, then NE into Nine Lakes Basin.   Over Pants Pass, down the Kern-Kaweah to Junction Meadow, up to Wallace creek & the JMT.   Wallace Lake if I am still strong, otherwise out to Trail Crest.   Most of it is completely new to me -- Looking forward to it.
Joe, I answered your "
One last MR advice" question.  Sure hope you make it all the way on that trip!!!
