Alamere Falls hike

[Guest guest]

The hike to Alamere Falls is beautiful, and swimming

in Bass Lake a chilly treat, but, BE WARNED: Poison

Oak lurks about. If you are susceptible, here's some

advice: 1) " Leaves of three, let it be. " That's the

easiest way to remember what to look for since Poison

Oak's color changes year-round. 2) Department of

Forestry uses Rhuligel to treat it, but I've never

found it anyplace, mostly because... 3) I use Tech-Nu,

available widely. They even have a " shield " you can

apply before potential exposure. That said, it is one

of the most beautiful hikes around.

http://www.life-assist.com/plantguide.html has

pictures of Poison Oak and good information. And it

appears the Shield, actually called Armor, has been

discontinued.

Have fun and maybe I'll see you there...
