Just a reminder to take precautions to protect your skin and eyes from the sun's UV (ultraviolet) rays. You know we're more at risk here in Flagstaff because of the elevation. Not as much atmosphere to filter out the harmful effects of the sun.
It may not be as hot here (aren't we thankful for that) as in Phoenix, Tucson or Las Vegas, but the cooler air is deceptive. We all need to be extra vigilant so we don't have to suffer through a painful sunburn.
I learned by hard experience this spring. Not being aware of how quickly skin can burn may result in a painful lesson. As a result of that lack of awareness I began to do a lot of research and just finished an article on How to Avoid Sunburn in Higher Altitudes.
Guess that's what you call live and learn. Take care when you're out enjoying this wonderful Flagstaff spring, almost summer.
