Cross country to Tehipite Valley via lewis creek

[ohlol]

I've actually had to teach myself to ID the roots and leafless plant after a particularly stupid incident backpacking in Big Sur when I was digging a cathole, unknowingly grabbed onto a urushiol-covered root system, did my business, and proceeded to get a huge rash running the length of both legs from ankle to groin a few days later... Took high dose prednisone to knock that one back.

Sounds as bad as chigger bites in the same area
