“the wall of the shelter that they were sitting and standing against was crawling with wolf spiders the size of pontiac aztecs.”

Interesting story there : )

it's funny how scouting works. boys i wouldn't let run with sticks are now serving in afghanistan or working in law enforcement. a boy who flunked the swim test for summer camp once is now working on a oil platform in the north sea. the kid who caught snakes has a ph.d in herpatology. and so on. i can't say the three-pound wolf spiders did much, but a kid who was scared of thunder lived through the storm and thunder and lightning never bothered him again.
