poison oak is EVERYWHERE, it is probably the prettiest plant ever. This particular poison oak I found in the strebel homestead and it was right in the middle of the ruins of an old house.
Found in the redwood duff. It was about 18 inches overall in length. the vine itself was bare, only having leaves on it.
This plant stood out to me because it was at the strebel homestead right in the middle of the ruins of an old house and besides one plant of poison oak this was the only other living thing.
