I had a chance to go out Geocaching today with the Geo Dog. We were up in Franklin Canyon, an area I'd never been to before. I was going for a newly published geo cache as the FTF (First to Find). Not that it's a competition or anything, and not that I'm competitive, but you know....I had to do it! Fortunately we were first to find and bonus - the cache was highlighting the unofficial geographic center of Los Angeles.

After that I couldn't resist picking up a few others in the neighborhood. The last one I got was in a wooded area and shaded. Geppetto and I went tromping around and came up with the cache without too much trouble. We got home and I got on the computer to log the caches. I had a few pictures I wanted to share. I by chance decided to read the previous logs from the shady wooded cache (GoldenMonkey). I was shocked at my stupidity. I usually read the logs before but I was confident I could find it without any issues. Every log said "be careful of the poison oak, it is everywhere". I quickly got on google to see what it looked like. I'm sorry to say I walked over and through all of it!
Geppetto promptly went into the bath tub after I stripped off all my clothes. I am highly allergic to poison oak, ivy et al. I gave him a big old hug in the car on the way home. I'm probably screwed.
