I'd rather squat in the woods than share a latrine with THAT!!!
I get up before anyone else in camp except Steve...the outhouse was behind a group of trees..thank goodness.
I went in and as is my habit I looked all around and seeing no spiders of any kind I proceeded to take a seat and remove my t-shirt to put on my racerback bra. As I'm slipping it over my head the largest spider I have ever seen crawls from behind the toilet paper roller. This spider was as big as a can of corn..not the diameter..the height...a can of corn people.
I first screamed and then vacated the premises with my shorts around my ankles and my bra over my head but not attached in the back yet.
I either squatted in the bushes or used the other outhouse the rest of the day. I made sure I banged on the toilet paper roller thingy first.
I didn't ask the spider what kind he was but he was BIG and really dark brown.

How brave of you to capture the web. Was this before or after the sighting?! OMG
I found the web just a little later. Mary, English Dave and I went exploring to find tracks in the sugar sand and I came across these webs with the mist hanging on them. The outhouse spider was too big for a web.
Heart attack, I'd have ended up (ass end up) in the same position. I must repress the memory of this blog right now, or I'll never go camping again.
