I did the whole enchilada last summer and enjoyed every mile. However, I wimped out and didn't camp as I had the wife along. There were a handful of people doing minimalist camping at the sites mentioned in the google links. No real worries. Trail was in great shape and there really wasn't a whole lot of dust. Fenders are highly recommended though.
Don't let the negative ninnies around here spoil the fun. Most of us understand why you asked here first. Some small and insecure folks just have to try to feel superior. ..
