[pct-l] pants in the desert???

Yes!!!  There is brush and many scratchy things (the Guidebook calls them
"menacing vegetables") in the desert.  Long pants were a must for me.

does anyone wear long pants in the desert? has anyone ever gotten a sunburn
on the back of their legs while hiking in the desert? i know that covering
up from the sun's rays is a good thing in general, I am wondering if it is a
good idea to get some kind of silkweight pants to protect against this....

thank you.....
