Have you thought this through?  Have you ever hiking in the mountains in November, December, and January?  Esp. non-stop thru-hiking style? November is the rainy season in the Pacific Northwest.  The snow level may be around 4,000-5,000 feet, sometimes dipping down to 2,500 feet.  The snow presents huge difficulties, wet, cold feet, getting lost in white-out ect.  Cold rain is just as bad for getting you hypothermic.  Expect November to have
 several rain / snow storms, so you will never be able to dry out or warm up.  Then December and January is winter storms, deep snow, bitter cold, and avalanches. Are you kidding when you say you want to thru-hike starting in November and talk of "more than 15 mile days?"

I would like to begin hiking the pct from washington around the end of october and it was suggested to me that I hike with someobody which I would like to do. I intend to go the whole 2650 miles or so from border to border starting in washington (or maybe canada). I will have limited food and water, limited resupply, and be going at a rate of more than 15 miles a day. If you are planning on going the whole distance, and I know this sounds unusual but starting from washington around november, please let me know so that we can arrange to walk together.
