Thanks for the info and advice David. I had found and read your post on HikeTheWhites when I started researching this trip several weeks ago.

I've done the Presi traverse 5 times in the summer and 2 times in the winter so I know the routine about packing appropriately and keeping an eye on the weather. We do have a gps (but I always bring real maps and compass too) so hopefully finding the spur won't be too problematic.

I suppose I was being a little paranoid re: taking down the camp, but then again, what is there to steal?! Someone on another forum reported this weekend that there are 2 campsites on opposite sides of the Isolation Trail close to its intersection with Davis Path. In any case, we'll likely err on a site nearer water. The full moon is on Wednesday so if the sky is clear it might be fun to do a sunset ascent of Isolation, but the weather and kids would also have to cooperate.

Anyway, thanks again!
