Hola, amigo!

Check Deems' pct-l post (6/25/10) regarding section Q - 
<http://mailman.backcountry.net/pipermail/pct-l/2010-June/039409.html>...
"By mid-July, the Marbles PCT will be very tame and melted."
Should be 'similar' for the higher elevations of section P, also...

Latest I've heard from other locals is snow is melting off fairly fast now
with the nearer to normal temperatures; even if there are some areas of snow 
still left mid-July, you should be 'good to go' with your past experiences!

Take care.  Have fun & enjoy the trek!
(I'll be in the Etna/Yreka area July 26 to August 3...  Let me know if you
decide to continue on through section Q (!) - I can help with a shuttle...)

Happy trails!!!
