[pct-l] Shave you legs!!

[Montedodge@aol.com (Montedodge@aol.com)]

 Tip of the Day! Ex-bike racer Trail Mix brought a great tip that was a cross 
over from his racing to the trail last year.  Shaving your legs will help 
fight off ticks early on in the desert on the PCT. If you only wear hiking 
shorts, this is a big help. Last year, ticks were horrible with hikers 
picking several off each day. Gaitors help, but ticks climb to your sock top  
and hucker in. Bottom line, less hair , less for them to grip.
