Life of the Party
one time I was camped on the Ronde in October and as I was walking back to camp i came across a black widow just marching across the campground... Long ways from my tent but when i got back to camp I emptied my tent, shook out my sleeping bag and all my clothes then zipped everything up tight!
I was staying in a cabin on the Methow a few years ago and we found a black widow in the outhouse. Kinda scary but kinda expected we moved it out. Then we found one on an outer window of the cabin. Okay, there are some around. Then we found some in the patio furniture. Everybody look before you sit! But then we started seeing more and some in places they weren’t when we arrived. By the third day as we were leaving we saw them just cruising across the ground. It was like some mass reproduction even had happened or they were kicked out of some refuge. I have no idea but there were lots and they were looking for a home. That was about the 12th year I had been in that cabin and never saw one before that and haven’t seen one since.
