Finally made it all the way to Romero Pass, with an extra bit around the Canyon Loop at CatSP, spacing out the 5 am start and heading towards Sutherland. Anyway, a most pleasant hike. Pools still had water (I needed 2 liters on the way back from the middle pools), although it was getting pretty stagnant and grody in the lower pools. All was dry at Old Trail Camp. It was a hot day, should have taking a bit of water on the outbound. No issues route finding, just take some care in the washes. The cairns all seemed fresh. First car in, last car out of the lot.
Heading back down at the camp above Old Trail Camp, I was a bit off trail exiting the wash, and discovered a pair of abandoned sandals, water bottle, a large book, two very wet rolls of toilet paper, and what looked like an old bladder. No one around (or so I thought). Sort of creepy, the sandals looked recent. I would not have seen it on the way up as everything but the fire ring is not in clear view of the trail.

Did not search around for a spring flow, but nothing obvious passing through.

Pools were full, slight flow. Best water was at the middle (second on the way up). Water in the lower pools was a bit ratty.
