MOVING ON, AND CARRYING AN ARACHNID WITH US

Here's the last sunset we saw at Kartchner Caverns State Park:
Our next stop was Catalina State Park, just outside of Tucson. And I mean, just outside. There was a Walmart and a Red Lobster within walking distance of the campground. We decided to press on, as we were looking for a bit less civilization. We found a nice secluded campground: Painted Rock Petroglyph Site. We arrived near dusk and chose a nice campsite ($8 a night, can't beat that with a stick!). As soon as we parked, we saw this guy on our window above our bed. He was about 2 inches in diameter. I captured him in a tupperware container and took it outside. Good thing, because if he'd fallen down behind the bed, we would have had to stay at a motel!
Petroglyph photos soon!

    1. I've got myself convinced that he came from the old campground, and that spiders like that don't even thrive here where we are now...
