I know Doug's book tells of some places closer to Consultation Lake AND last year someone put up a map on the other site of tent sites that are better a little bit off the trail. Steve may remember this and could possibly find it. I'll also do a search.
You're going to Whitney before me, so I expect a Trail Report :-)
