First poison ivy of the year?

Time for a trip to Reno? Drop by Cabela's, and the old Harrah auto collection too...?

I would crossbow if it was legal for me to buy... roundup quick-pro is much more effective then regular roundup... at least this has been my experience.

Does Cabela's carry weed killer?

Plus on the car collection... last time was 4 years ago and I always find it interesting...

Illegal? Didn't know that. Your nickname shows you are in Wash or SF Bay Area. So if you drive through Oregon, pick up a gallon of Crossbow at a Home Depot/Lowes/etc. It is concentrate so a gallon lasts a while. Nice thing about Crossbow is that it targets woody broadleaf plants, but not grasses, so you don't leave a completely bare patch like w/ Roundup. Also Crossbow works well for Oregon barbed wire (blackberry).

No Cabelas has all kinds of outdoor camping/hiking/fishing/hunting stuff...

Wish they could have held more of the car collection. I was there when I was a kid in the mid 70's. Has been a couple 2 or 3 years since the last visit...

When Harrahs was sold to Holiday Inn... I think that's who bought the company, the collection went with it... turned out to be undervalued and Holiday Inn did very well liquidating.

Through an effort of car collectors, the state of Nevada, the city of Reno and Holiday Inn... some nice cars were saved and the new museum built...

Remember the first time I visit the original collections... I was 12 and rode the bus from Lake Tahoe to Reno and then took a shuttle from the Casino to the Collection...

One of the huge benefits of WA compared to California is the lack of Poison Oak... I can let the kids and dog roam all over, climb trees and play down in the creek in WA... could never do that in Oakland... just way too much poison oak in the hills...

Next time I'm traveling through, I will stop and pick some up...

Did that a few years ago when California started to mandate the useless gas cans...

are u referring to the gas cans without vents now?

The first generation vapor lock gas cans were a total failure... they nozzles would break and the spring system resulted in spillage...

Their are some better ones available now... I bought one from my Honda dealer that works great... a 1 gallon can cost $23

Washington still had the old style cans on the shelves long after they were banned in California.

Just took a look at the Poison Oak sprouts I sprayed two weeks ago with Round Up Quick Pro and they have withered away to nothing...

Back to the subject of Poison Ivy and it's effects.
Just before I left Mississippi a week ago I got my first dose of the year. Primarily limited to two patches on my arms. Found that cheap antiperspirant dries it out enough so itching is minmal. Plus you smell better.
