Lyndon, I may have outdated info, but I believe the Conness Lakes basin is off limits to camping. I think it's a research area, or at least was at one time. We certainly saw no signs of camping during our day there, and it was a weekend. You may have to adjust your itinerary for that, but as a whole it should be eminently doable. I'm pretty certain you will not find a more awe-inspiring group of lakes in the Sierra than in those two basins.
Grab 'em while you can, brutha - the clock is ticking! Another few months and you'll be like me, penciling in cross-country trips once or twice a year and wondering how the hell you'll squeeze in everything you want to do.
