sunburns

after about 5 days of backpacking, (against my will) im kinda over them.
my neck, my legs, my ears, and my arms.
i guess 50 SPF desent do much good above 12,000 ft.

oh, and blisters suck too.

my buddy got such a sick sunburn last summer, it looked like his shoulders had melted, they were all pus-leaking and dark red and when he showed them to one of my friends, my friend screamed.
i think it would suck to get a sunburn.

ouch! id recommend keeping your skin out of the sun for a few days... aloe always works on the sunburns i have gotten but ive never been close to getting blisters or anything...

might i also recommend a cold rag on it. It will take the heat out of the burn. Be sure not to put any lotion or sun screen on it because that will keep all the heat in
