[pct-l] North from Seiad Valley

[Rob at wildvagabond ()]

Hello Sages of The PCT.I'm hiking sections and have now hiked from Kennedy Meadows (South) to Seiad Valley. Next up is Seiad to Ashland or thereabouts.  I'm 68, so huge miles are not going to happen. 
Questions:
1.  What do you suggest as good stopping points about 250 to 350 miles North of Seiad?  Good in terms of ease of access, ability to get back to Seiad, services. 
2. Your guess as a reasonable start date, so I can start planning? 
3.  What are the water and other challenges to anticipate?   I know there are elevation discrepancies, resulting in snow vs heat and other issues.  What is the best way to manage these issues?  That is, back to the start date and other suggestions. 
Thanks all. 
I am on the False Bravado, yet continue to find the most accurate and reasonable information on sites like this one.  Another example is information about the Grand Canyon - it's better on the yahoo groupo than the FB.  I suppose it's because "true" (dedicated) hikers find it more useful and therefore hang out here?
Thanks for the updated town guide - fabulous. And for the suggestions about other sections I've hiked.
