My lovely husband sent me out for a hike on a blustery (but not too cool) morning. I loved the dramatic clouds and made a friend of a Halloween sort!Jackson slept away…no way to go but up!i have been eager to see a tarantula on a hike. I’ve seen them in the roads and in zoos…it’s a little late in the season for them to be finding a mate, and they are disk hunters, so I don’t know what this guy was doing out at 10 am, but I definitely enjoyed seeing him! I followed him for a bit to make sure he made his way out of the trail without being bothered, and then went on my way.
