Common problem.  I wonder how many (few?) PCT-ers are mid-career 
professionals.
I know that recently I had the devil of a time recruiting a companion for 
just
the JMT, three weeks at my anticipated desk-jocky pace of ten miles a day 
(ended
up doing a lot better, thanks Steve and Jan and Saskia!).  Scott 
*expected* to
do 30+ miles a day and still needed seven months.  I ended up muttering to 
myself
the Tennessee Ernie Ford song, about how everyone had "sold his soul to the
company store"; of course THAT just proved what an O.F. I am.
