WB... can you give me a rough breakdown of your Onion Valley day/mileage? That is definately another option for us....
We did it 10 to 12 mile days for the the first 3 days and 16 the last.
If I were to do it 6 to 7 days, I'd line it up something like this.
OV Trailhead to Kearsage Lakes...7ish miles
KL to somewhere along Bubbs Creek to set up going over the Forester Pass, there is a nice campsite overlooking Bubbs Creek on a plateau that is nice...similar mileage.
Bubbs Creek to the Tyndall Creek Trail Junction for Lake South America...similar distance
TCJ to Upper Crabtree Meadow... similar distance
UCM to GL
GL to where ever.
Where ever to WP
Our GPS had it 50 miles traveled.
If you choose to go this way, do a search for bear box locations in SEKI. Even if the boxes are gonzo, there are hard surfaced campsites at these locations, which would be good for larger groups.
