Glad you found your corner stakes. One of mine got removed by a new neighbor apparently right around the time he chopped down one of my pine trees.
Some neighbors just don't know how to get off on the right foot.
If you get it, the thing I found (by accident) that works for me (cuz it grows all around my property, and the dog gets in it): Get in the shower with the water as hot as you can stand it (and then some ... you will adapt!). You will feel an intense itching when the hot water hits the skin with poison ivy and areas you didn't know were affected (but are going to be!) ; then the itch will slowly subside. Give it a good dose. The itching will stay away, possibly until shower time the next day. About 4 or 5 days of this, and it will be gone.
I'm curious about why this works. Maybe something about it disperses the histamine or something.
By the way: Do you plan to "fish" with magneto or dynamite?

I have done this also (the hot water on the poison ivy, not the dynamite!)and I think it works in the same thing as banging your head against the wall so it will feel better when you stop.....
Seriously, the nearest state university should have an extension service with all kinds of information and stuff to help you out, like the best fish to stock in your private nirvana. Enjoy!
