It can be done. Did a yo-yo in 1992-3. Started back south on 21 Sept 1992. 
Did wish I had snowshoes a few times, but got thru without them.

just about nonexistent that time of year. Any ideas on how scarce water could 
be during that time this year? Would a flipper be a better idea....don't 
particularly want to do it that way, for some reason I can't explain, but.....
