Ray Jardines' "PCT Hikers Handbook" (1992) includes a series of itineraries
for completing the PCT before the snow flies.  A May 16 start puts you on
either a 4 or 4.5 month schedule.

Daily mileage during the first 2 weeks = 21 mpd on 4 month / 19 mpd on 4.5
month
Infrequent maximum mileage = 30 mpd / 28 mpd
Start and finish dates = May 10; Sept 10 / May 5; Sept 16 (re-adjust to May
16)
Number of resupplies = 17 / 24

Built into the itinerary is 1 layover day for each 6 days of hiking.
