Edit Reason: PS...you told me there were no spiders in Washington!
I remember when we were in Washington and walking along the fallen tree 6 feet or more up off the ground and you were in front of me and we had to switch places cuz the spider was in front of you

I remember when we were in Washington and walking along the fallen tree 6 feet or more up off the ground and you were in front of me and we had to switch places cuz the spider was in front of you Good grief...I think it was the first night I was at Bill's and we walked through those woods, under the fallen tree, all the way to Don's house....at 2am! I still believed him that there were no spiders in Washington. I found out different the next day when one got down my shirt while we were out in the yard. It was mayhem! I was screaming and trying to get my shirt off,  Bill was trying to help...then Shadow went into attack mode because he didn't know what the hell was going on. It's funny NOW!
