Covering shoulders and noses is sometimes necessary in the Arizona sun. It is hard to acquire and keep that tough of a tan, to stay out all day. It would be nice to be able to not lug around so much water, or not wear shoes or not keep tweezers, but one must be prepared if on an extended hike, or into new territory. Just a strip of cloth. It doesn't have to be worn, but otherwise lack of it produces restrictions as described. I'll still go completely without, whenever I can safely, like in the evening, or when I know my specific goals, or when I don't mind curbing my whims to discover new territories. I rarely wear clothing, or even carry it, if I don't have to. That just doesn't make sense and it curbs awareness and sense of liberty.
There will be a later post into this area, backpacking at a later date. There will be a backpacking hike one day, up th ejeep trail. I know where it goes and it would be fun and good exercise to hike all of that way with cover up stashed away. There will also be another couple of posts about where that trail ends, when we have used four wheel drive to get to it. It is incredible there.
