+TotemLake Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 I'm doing that too, but have some childhood nightmares about playing in the stuff before we knew what it was and having agonizing days and days of itching and pink calamide lotion. I guess what I'll have to do now is to buy a sturdy walking staff so I can push the stuff aside and maybe a machete to widen the path a little bit. Cheers! TL Quote Link to comment
+evergreenhiker! Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 There's Poison Oak at norway hill???? I've never noticed it there. Only areas up here that I know of the P-Oak are south seattle and down and also at Seward Park. You might be confusing the plant with Oregan grape at my cache. Poison Oak is real bad down in the gorge this year. It's proliferating. I've noticed more than a couple varieties. Some plants have large leaves while others are smaller. Exact shape of leaves also varies. Main thing is to avoid anything with group of three leaves to play it safe. I wear short down there and my hiking stick is a great aide...keeps me from slipping into the poisonous brush and also is used to nudge it away in tight spots. Quote Link to comment
+TotemLake Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 I thought... ok, maybe I just freaked, but the description I read of Oregon Grape is a low growing plant native to much of the Pacific Coast and found sparsely east of the Cascades. Its evergreen foliage of pinnated, waxy green leaves resembles holly. Looking at the pictures I've located, I remember seeing this plant. Frankly, I mistook it for holly. What I saw is this did not resemble holly and it was a cluster of 3 leaves looking much like an oak leaf, were 1/2 - 2/3 hand size. Fwiw, it could very well be a poison ivy variant. I pulled some pictures over to act as a guide for me and turned it into a 2 page reference document for poison ivy, poison oak, and sumac including seasonal changes for the oak and ivy. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me to take a picture of this bush. It's quite intimidating for the uninitiated. I managed to brush it aside and get past it, up the path and within 500 feet of the cache before deciding to turn around due to lack of something to push or whack some of this stuff aside. Mind you I'm not whining. Was just looking for an opinion on this year's growth. I've gone deep woods camping over the past 5 years and haven't quite seen it this thick. Cheers!

+EraSeek Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 Not a great picture but: Tall stems, generaly 4'-8' though I have seen larger 10'-15', large leaves, and all of it covered with long sharp fine needle like thorns. Get trapped in a thicket of these and you come out the loser. "In the wild, devil's club occurs in both small patches of upright spiny stems 6-15 feet tall with huge spiny leaves 2-3 feet across in apical terminal clusters , and in huge rambling masses of ferocious interwoven recumbent and upright spiny stems covering acres and sometimes square miles of wet, shady understory in stable coastal rainforest. Hikers who wander unawares into these huge devil's club patches can panic at the first slash and multiple stabbings and make the experience much worse by running or trying to hurry out of the dilemma, tripping on the recumbent stems and levering the erect stems into their faces and arms. In these moments, the appellation "Devil's Club" seems diabolically appropriate." [This message was edited by EraSeek on June 15, 2003 at 10:07 AM.] Quote Link to comment

Moun10Bike Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 Cin, if you want to see some Devils Club up close, try hunting some of my caches on the west side of Priest Lake in Idaho. logscaler tells me that I've done a phenomenal job of pinpointing my caches right in the middle of the stuff! Here are some more pictures of the plant: Photo 1 Photo 2 Photo 3 Quote Link to comment
+evergreenhiker! Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 Devil's Club is something that you should try to avoid. If you step on the plant wrong, it may lash back at you...the spines have some type of poison in them. Not fatal, but it will make the affected area swell up. My friend Danny was out deer hunting in the Elwell Creek swamplands several years ago and got clubbed by the Devilish plant. His whole arm and shoulder swelled for several days. Now, I've been pricked just by a couple thorns and suffered no problems. It's just when you really get clubbed this plant can cause a lot of discomfort! Like EraSeek says, these babies cacn get tall...up to 15 feet tall or so. When I tried Dream Lake a couple weeks ago, we had thick leather gloves on so we could grasp the plant and get through it.

Troy our 13yr old boy found a leaf of it on the trail after getting into the stuff and picked it up and said, look mom a Tree Star. Tree Stars are a "Land Before Time" thing you would have to have young children to understand. Anyway we ran across it at a cache we picked up on the way out "SEH" cache. We did the only cache in the park on the way out after placing three along three along the Woody Trail that takes you past three falls. The Lower Falls, Middle Falls and the Upper Falls. All in all it would be just over an Eight mile hike to grab all three cache. The best View was from the Middle Falls and it was just awesome! We did just over 10 miles yesterday and I am beat. It was a much different 10 mile hike at the Falls compared to the 10 miles we (CachinCin, Lucy) did at the Tunnel. Wow, I am a little sore today, but I shall survive!

Main thing is to avoid anything with group of three leaves to play it safe. As a former California resident who was very active in orienteering (cross-country sport), I became a connoisseur of PO and can attest that it's extremely versatile. There are three main growth patterns: small weed-like growths [calf-high], bushes [sometimes as thickets 6 feet high/wide] and vines that grow around trees. Leaf size varies hugely, depending on water and sun. In the late summer/fall, the leaves turn bright red - very pretty, very deadly. Many of my club's main orienteering parks were rife with the stuff, so you either dealt with it or gave up the sport. Bay Area orienteers swear by Tecnu, which you can buy at drugstores and the like. If you use it within a few hours of exposure, it breaks down the oils and either prevents or minimizes the rash. We bought the stuff by the truckload, and it really works. That's my tip o' the day. Quote Link to comment
+evergreenhiker! Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 I've heard of Tecnu...I'll have to get a tube for the next trip down, but I do try to avoid the stuff and turned a cache down because of it. Quite allergic to it. Vines? Never seen that...that would be interesting to see. Teh C. Gorge area has the other two varieties you mentioned. In fact Catherine Creek area is especially bad with the stuff...I spoted one P-Oak tree! I know it's not scrub oak and the leaves were in threes. Quote Link to comment
+TotemLake Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 I'm using Tecnu now and can attest to its effectiveness even after the rash starts. Dang stuff caught me between the glove and the cuff. Anyway, the stuff works great and I've had it in my first-aid kit for years. It took the itchy raw eczema looking rash and reduced it down to a minor rash and the itching was handled better than the Benadryl anti-itch we also have. I'm treating the rash with it morning and evening and isolate it at night with gauze to prevent it from spreading to other areas during sleep. Back in the 60's before I knew what poison ivy and oak was, my brothers and I played hide and seek in shorts and sandals around the garage - which was surrounded by the stuff. That was the most agonizing week I ever had in my then young life. Cheers! TL Quote Link to comment
+TotemLake Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Well whatta ya know? I found a young poison ivy in my jasmin plant today. That's the first time since moving into this house 4 years ago. It is quite possible I had a little seed hitchhiker from a recent hunt which begs the question: Granted we've seen warmer weather this year, but is it possible some of the heavier growth noted this year could be attributed to geocaching's popularity explosion?

Based on what I've seen and heard since moving up here, there is very little PO in the Washington/Idaho area. I haven't seen any myself, and I was laughing during a visit to Seward Park, where the stuff is apparently so rare that they feel the need to post signs to identify the few clumps. Not sure why the drop-off up here, but it's pretty common in the Portland area. Still nothing like California, tho. (Altho not all of California - no PO at elevation in the Sierra.) One other note: You could have been exposed and not gotten the rash. Some people are immune. I used to be completely unaffected - I once taunted my PO-sensitive friends by rubbing a leaf on my wrist. But repeated exposure breaks down the immunity (orienteering did it to me); my sensitivity is still fairly low compared to many people - I can wade through bushes of PO for a couple hours, even fall in it, and so long as I put on Tecnu afterward, I suffer no ill effects. But on those few occasions when I've gotten cocky and foregone the Tecnu after such antics....hell to pay. hydnsek Quote Link to comment

+TotemLake Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 An interesting comment made here indicates P ivy thrives in disturbed areas when larger brush is cleared. It becomes conceivable then, that impacted or trampled areas could also become grounds for P ivy to thrive. It is also a known issue hikers can often cross contaminate areas because their hiking boots will pick up and hold seeds and then deposit them later in a different location. So taking this a step further, each of us that do not clean their boots after each hike, can be a cross carrier host to a new location and cause this to spread even more. Which can explain why I found a young plant in my yard. So I think I'm answering my previous question; Can the increased growth be attributed to the geocaching popularity explosion? The answer will inevitably have to be; Yes it can. To what degree would depend upon the individual hiker. Cheers! TL Quote Link to comment
