[pct-l] Sunscreen on the Trail

[CHUCK CHELIN]

Good morning, Claire,

I use sunscreen, although not nearly as much as I should.  I don’t like the
typical perfumed lotion-type stuff, preferring instead a jell-based product
that dries similar to *Purell*, and thereby reduces the attraction and
accumulation of dust on the skin’s surface.

Enjoy your hike,
