well, last year i was at summit lake, heading north on the pct, on labor 
day weekend, and i don't recall any of the expected water sources being 
dry. the lakes were filterable- nothing too gross. i seem to remember 2 
or 3 moderately long water hauls, but this was nothing out of the 
ordinary for that stretch. ymmv, though, as i don't know how 
comparatively dry it is this year.
