Same here, but that is also why I'm doing the 200 mile JMT in 2017. Only 2.5 weeks off of work and away from family, and also supposed to be the most scenic part of the PCT. Doing the Ozark 200 miler as a warm up/test because it's a lot closer to home.

2.5 weeks is going to be hauling arse in that terrain. Even in late July there's a lot of snow and rivers that can be really dangerous to cross. There's a documentary on Netflix called "Mile.... Mile & a Half" and it took that group 25 days. Now they definitely stopped and enjoyed a few places, but the movie really paints a good picture of what you're dealing with.
