I know what it feels like to get the spring backpacking itch but I learned my lesson a few years ago on memorial day weekend. Hail sucks when you're sleeping in a bivy sack and we woke up with nearly an inch of snow...

My suggestion is to go to Big Sur in the spring.

I learned how cold it can be when it was in the teens and snowing on me with 40mph winds last season in early June. All it really taught me is I might have to go into survival mode sometimes when I am in the Sierra. :D
