This is a GREAT topic. For years sunscreen was one of the essentials that I was constantly forgetting. The first time I went hiking around Mt. Baldy in the snow, I remembered my sunscreen, but I didn't remember to put anything on my lips. I got burned from both the top, and from underneath, so badly that my lips cracked and swelled to the point that I could barely talk for a couple of days. It was brutal.

Don't forget your sunscreen, and DON'T FORGET YOUR LIPS!

And congrats on kicking cancer to the curb, quillansculpture!


One day I'd like to hike the entire John Muir Trail and not leave a single footprint. -Randy Morgenson
