Weather wise this was the most mild summer I have ever spent in the Sierra, got rain on only 4 days and the two worst days it sprinkled on and off for an hour. Thunderstorms on 3 days and only one day it was even over head, a few flakes of snow came down only on one day and the rest was clear skies sometimes going more than a week without a single cloud in the sky!
The trip changed a bit on the go but stayed mostly the same, locations I camped and notes here:
I used stars instead of that little circle because I am not sure how to get that circle on my keyboard. =/

Longest stretch with no rain was 22 days.
Those work days Fishmonger were when I joined an SCA trail crew, I was supposed to work for 4 days but did 5.
I'll post more on this later since it took so long for those waypoints!
