Poison Ivy is a common woodland plant in southern Manitoba that
often causes cachers to go home with Rhus Dermatitis. I have put up
a couple of caches that provide information about PI, what it looks
like, and some similar looking plants. This cache, unlike
'MB PI Watch', has a lot of PI near the container - be careful,
wear long pants, and don't touch those nice plants with three
leaflets. You can access the cache without any bush crashing or
going off trail.
I hope you find the information on this page and at the cache
site both interesting and helpful.
In short remember: "Leaves of three,
let it be; berries white, danger in sight."

I have had several reports that the cache location is about 8m
off the actual co-ordinates. Stay on the trail and out of the
PI!
