Hiked section Q and came out on July 19.  Here are a few water tips.

1.  No on-trail water from Etna Summit until Shelly Lake outlet creek at 10.7 miles.
2.  Water at creeklet .4 mile before Fisher Lake at base of switchbacks going down the hill.
3.  Half a dozen trail-side water sources from that creeklet up to Paradise Lake, including well-flowing creeklet just before Marble Valley Guard station.
4.  Outlet creek from Paradise Lake flowing well.
5.  No water between Paradise Lake and a well-flowing "early summer creeklet" 1/2 mile before very well-flowing Cold Spring creek, except for rather gunky water off-trail at Buckhorn Spring.
6.  Lots of water from Cold Spring creek down to Seiad Valley.
