In California you omitted:
Kern Hot Spring, on the Kern River, west (as the crow flies) of Rock Creek
Blayney Meadows Hot Spring, on the San Joaquin River
Iva Bell (aka Fish Creek) Hot Springs, in Fish Valley, north of L. 
Edison, s. of Reds' Meadow
While none of these are directly on the PCT they are close enough to 
make great detour R and R trips.
