As AlanK mentioned, stopping in TM would cut my miles shorter than needed to complete my goal so I currently plan on running through.

I plan to stop before Donahue pass since the day will already be a grueling climb out of the valley and would like to get my legs rested for my long day two plan. I have read many different things about camping before Donahue pass. Any reccomendations on where the best place to stop would be?

AlanK, thanks for the info on water supply. I am planning on bringing a standard 1 liter bottle for water and am packing x1 nalgene bladder for areas where I would like to have some extra water/electrolyte drink available. Any experiences with the Nalgene bladder vs. Platypus bladder? I've read mixed reviews for both.
