What is the most "easy" desert section to hike in July, considering the lack

The desert in July is "life-threatening" ... don't even consider it.

I know it sounds crazy but before to get Kennedy meadows i'd wish to hike the 
desert a bit.
Then, come to CA in February/March (next year) and hike for a couple of weeks

A 2 or 3 weeks section with permanent water would be perfect before going in 
the Sierra.
Permanent water? In the desert? In July? 

I plan to start from Campo July 10 and, hike 2 / 3weeks and get out of the 
trail and hitchike to KM by early August.
Even Campo in July (for 2 or 3 weeks) will be like a desert ... and there 
won't be any permanent water. Fact is, even the artificial water caches are not 
maintained in July.


Any suggestions?

Come back next year when you can start earlier.

Sorry,
Charlie
