I finally camp at 9200' after failing to find the stream I was looking for.  I should have crossed that stream at about 8700'.  I flows east southeast, in line with the top of Watson Peak and a small lake above Iron Basin to the east southeast, roughly half way through the north/south climb into the basin proper.  I dropped my pack and checked for water at the high tarn below the east face of Watson, but it was dry.
