[pct-l] Neck Burn?

[RJ Lewis]

I think I've burned once or twice in my life...the Native American 
heritage I have makes it so I rarely burn. Once though, I was out in the 
Arizona desert, and the other at 9,000 feet. Both times I had no 
exposure that season what so ever to the sun, and had been out an entire 
day.

So yes, folks it's important to use sunscreen out there in the deserts 
and up high in elevation. Burning is just plain painful for most. Who 
needs that when one is already fighting with blisters and sore muscles 
at the start of your trip?

Peace
RJ
