Black Widow

Since we couldn’t hike south from Bridge of the Gods, we hitched over to Hood River. While hanging out at Double Mountain brewery and trying to figure out what we should do, a very kind and wonderful local couple offered to let us stay out at their farm while we got sorted. Nine of cowboy camped out in their yard, where we found this little guy crawling around. Apparently black widows are not on the list of things that will get hikers to move camp or set up a tent.
