Speaking to a golfer this morning, I learned that the new Rail Trail is "loaded with poison ivy, and it's creeping in from the sides now that the railway company isn't controlling it".
He didn't have any photos of it on his phone, but here are some from the internet (click on photos to enlarge):
There are apparently up to 10 natural remedies for Poison Ivy exposure/rash.
This website should be bookmarked by people who walk or bike the Rail Trail.
And how about your four-legged hiking companion? See this website to learn of symptoms your dog may exhibit, i.e. an itchy rash.
"There's a need for some photo/sign warnings on the Rail Trail," Kia would've said.
The new-to-the Okanagan golfer added another comment..."back east, we witnessed areas that were expropriated to provide 'rail trails', and then years later, politicians realized light transit would've served the highest purpose. Trails were converted back to commuter rail transport...at huge cost."
He said that politicians here will learn that too.
