What's the earliest that this section can be hiked without tons of snow/impassable conditions?

Plenty of water around Standing Indian...and lots of skeeters.

Just remember that sometimes the windows do close and you sit looking out wondering, "what if..." This isn't something that you can just decide to do later. A one-week test hike is a great idea.

Oh well, it looks like the good intention to talk about etiquette has turned to crap.
