Saturday Sept 6 for trails; I want to head down into the area on Friday, the 5th and camp along the start of the Tincup Pass trail. The Wells book indicates some great dispersed camping along this road just after the town of St. Elmo http://www.everytrail.com/guide/tincup-pass-4x4-road
Saturday morning I'd like to go over Tincup Pass, loop down Cumberland Pass to Hancock Pass, and check out Pomeroy Lakes on the way back to camp. None of this is hard, but it's full of ghost towns and mining history.
Here's a great set of videos that have some of these trails in them. The second video is basically the run, they even camp along the road I'm thinking of:
