I had decided to add an additional day, so I'm going to e-mail Steve C. my new spreadsheet about updating my itinerary.
I don't expect him to post it, but I added a short day in Bubbs creek for an extra bit of acclimatization or time to bag a peak if were feeling it.
I also have a few maps with my potential campsites... John does bring up an additional issue with my final AP v. NAP route into Cottonwood.
Long lake sounds like a good second-choice campsite, although my favorite site in Cottonwood is the bluff in between C-Lakes 3 & 4. Less crowded than the sites at the head of Lake 4.
I know some people do have issue finding the trail over AP, though the two times I've been up that way (once in a hail/rain/t-storm) it was an easy to follow trail (in a little disrepair) though I never felt that it was that sketchy. The top, however, is a north-facing slope, and those are trouble. I love the views of Langley's SE ridge and the lakes coming down AP!
