I HIGHLY recommend that you wipe your googles with something like Tecnu. Poison Oak is VERY resistant to cleaning and water will NOT do the trick.

PI can be vine-like but often on the edge of trails it grows as a stand-alone plant, which is where I see people get it. The stuff that grows on the side of trees and cliffs, those are easy to avoid. It's the small stuff hidden on the trail's edge that gets you.
Here's a pretty cool quiz from the same site TheRussian posted.

You can probably print those images out to help you ID PI on the trail.
For those who get PI, I suggest they carry some Tecnu

You should be able to find it in most pharmacies, and I see they now have smaller packets for sale. Good stuff, I have it in my car for my friends in case they run into PI.
I don't get PI... yet. Just a note to those who "don't get PI"... immunity is not forever. I could roll around in the stuff as a kid, as but in my 30s I started getting a little redness in reaction, so now I take care to avoid it like everyone else.
