Over Memorial Day weekend and next week's National Trails Day, thousands of Southern Californians will head into the great outdoors for some sun, exercise and natural beauty - and in many cases, a nasty rash.Unusually heavy rainfall this past winter has helped many a native plant, wildflower and, yes, poisonous weed along Southern California's hiking trails to grow and extend its greenery "almost like it wants to reach out and shake your hand because it's sticking out everywhere," said Cris Sarabia, conservation director for the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy.
