[pct-l] desert hiking in a long polyester skirt

[Marion Davison]

I would be concerned with the wait-a-minute bushes.  Nearly 
every plant in the desert and chaparral habitats (namely 
most of SO CAL) is prickly and thorny and grabs your clothes 
as you walk by.  So I wear long baggy pants to protect my 
legs from scratches and ticks.  I think a flimsy skirt would 
be constantly grabbed by the plants and it would get really 
annoying in about a mile.  Take it from a hippy girl who has 
spent a lot of her life walking around in floor length skirts.
