Local Trail Encounter

[OakLeaf]

I had horrible poison ivy on both wrists, oh, four years ago I guess. It was right when I went to the retreat where I rediscovered cycling.

I think what it was, I was clearing multiflora rose and poison ivy that were growing all together. The rose thorns must've broken the skin and gotten poison ivy underneath. I don't know how else I could've just continued to break out in new blisters under the blisters I already had.

I've had little spots of PI since then, but nothing like that. Yikes, it itches even thinking about it.

Oak..yes on the snakes & spiders. Dugites, Tiger Snakes, King Browns...Red Backs, White Tails..

I've only seen a few snakes on my rides & let's just say I become alberto contator all of a sudden...

We're heading into the oo so lovely time of year called " magpie mating season"
