“Wear sunscreen.

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.” – Mary Schmich

As you pack your backpack and motor vehicle before heading out to the mountain, one thing to consider is sun protection.

Yes, it’s winter. The Pacific Northwest is known for its rainy, cloudy, foggy weather in the winter. That can be very true in the lowlands around the Puget Sound. But as you drive up into the mountains it can be a very different story.

Sometimes you drive up to Longmire and Paradise and you end up above the clouds. We can get a few winter inversions where it sets up sunnier up high then down near the Sound.

Paradise is also at a higher elevation, 5,420 feet above sea level. Your skin can be exposed to more solar radiation up here.

And one more thing, snow. Snow can be a great reflector of the sunshine.

So please, bring some sun protection. Sun screen, hats, sunglasses can be good options for protecting your eyes and skin.

What are some of your favorite sun protection options?

Is there something that you’ve found works great when you’ve spent a sunny day at Paradise?

From reviews of the tour:

“[Peter] picked up a guitar. He played. He was really good. He picked up a banjo. Played. Really well. He sat at the keyboards. Not bad.
 He played the blues, imitated Elvis and did enough of the Monkees repertoire to placate those who desperately needed to sing ‘Daydream Believer’ with him. He told compelling stories, too, all of them rolled into the autobiography that he clearly wanted to convey: Yes, Peter Tork can play, and he can own the stage, alone. He talked about growing up in a house filled with classical music; about moving to Greenwich Village in its folk heyday: about heading to LA, where a friend named Stephen Stills helped him land a job on a TV show about a band called the Monkees. He recalled his frustration that the members of the band were originally denied the chance to play on their records. ‘We don’t want what you have to offer,’ a produced told him when he complained. ‘You’re not the Lovin’ Spoonful.’ On Sunday, he was witty, agile, energetic and sufficiently self-deprecating to balance his caustic streak. He won a standing ovation, fueled by more than nostalgia.” - review by Mary Schmich, Chicago Tribune, June 12, 2013

“In real life, Tork is a soft-spoken, sarcastic troubadour-typ; his solo acoustic set was soaked in his deep affection for old folk songs and the blues. If you were looking for a taut run-through of Monkees hits, you would’ve been disappointed. This was a multimedia storytelling event as much as it was a concert. As Tork told us stories of listening to Burl Ives with his parents, struggling as a wet-behind-the-ears Greenwich Village folkie, and following his friend Stephen Stills’ suggestion that he attend a casting call for the show that would become The Monkees, corresponding photographs appeared on the screen above him. It was a gold mine for any serious Monkees fan, if perhaps a little slow for somebody who wanted to show up and sing along. Admittedly, the best moments usually involved Tork getting down to business. A snippet of the lovely folk song ‘The Fox’ made me wish he had done the whole thing. Bluesy renditions of pop hits ‘Last Train to Clarksville’ and ‘She Hangs Out’ exposed their soulful bones. And a banjo-and-vocal cover of Jackie Wilson’s ‘(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher’ was ragged, tender and true. […] [His set] proved that he’s talented, period. Switching between acoustic guitar, banjo and keyboards, the goateed and bespectacled artists (who looks pretty much nothing like the Tork of Monkees days these days) oozed Americana, putting just the right kind of mustard on every chord progression and bluesy lick. His voice was more workmanlike than his playing, but it was invested with an earnestness that felt right. And it didn’t hurt that he was pretty funny. In the middle of ‘Higher and Higher,’ Tork tried to get the crowd to clap along. A bunch of folks started clapping on one and three. ‘You don’t know what clapping is, do you?’ he quipped. There, in that moment, we got a solid idea of who Peter Tork is. He’s got the friendliness and humor of a Monkee, and the world-weariness of a septuagenarian in a small Buffalo club, who just wants a proper backbeat already. You don’t normally get this level of insight from a live show, so for people still in the throes of Monkeemania, this was a very special night indeed.” - review by Joe Sweeney, The Buffalo News, May 5, 2013

Someone on YouTube uploaded clips from one of the performances (in Sellersville, Pennsylvania, on May 24, 2013); here's everything in a playlist..

"Disfruta de tu cuerpo. Aprovéchalo de todas las formas que puedas.

No tengas miedo ni te preocupes por lo que piensen los demás porque es el mejor instrumento que jamás tendrás.

Baila, aunque tengas que hacerlo en el salón de tu casa.

Lee las instrucciones aunque no las sigas. No leas revistas de belleza pues para lo único que sirven es para hacerte sentir FEO." -Wear sunscreen, Mary Theresa Schmich
