🏡The Cabin in the Woods (Epic Camping Trip!)🍻

in Outdoors4 months ago (edited)

As I reacquaint myself with parents and dance instructors, I also have time to ignore their boring ramblings and bring some more exciting pictures and memories! And yes, this is the amazing giant spider post, scroll down now if that's what you're waiting to see, but if not, take a few minutes to experience the rest through my eyes.

Welcome to 'Camp David', named after the owner. I was surprised to find this on Hipcamp but learned how off grid and remote it actually was. No electric, septic and quieter than almost every other camping site (except Love Joy Falls) than I have been to. Was a nice 'guys weekend' getaway for sure.

While I fired up the grill, my oldest began challenging the crew to chess matches. Overall, I think I was 2-2 losing for the first time ever to @b34w0lf! Think I had too much to drink. Ha!

Because, fuck you, I'm drunk.

The next day, we went hiking! We went to one of the taller waterfalls in the state called Ozone Falls. It has a few claims to fame, one of them being, it is where part of the 'Jungle Book' was filmed! It is gorgeous and not a hike for the faint of heart or people with acrophobia so, live vicariously here if that is you!

After some relaxing beers and 5 bottles of whiskey and Bailey's, it was time to eat again and normally, I have great food shots for you but, I was a little drunk and hungry. Ha! I did, however, become very interested in the funga and flora about the place, which will have to be their own posts at some point, and the local wildlife. Introducing the star of this entry - the Green (Marbled) Orb Weaver.

This was hands down, the most ginormous orb weaver I've ever seen. It may have been a world record. Legs stretched out, it could easily clutch around half of a normal sized 4 inch diameter apple. Tip to tip of its legs? Probably 6 inches long. That last picture, shows how big the abdomen was, and despite being a shorter fella, I have large hands and fat fingers. Absolute beast of an arachnid.

I think the bears we were warned about were even scared of it, because they never showed up. Or maybe they heard an apex and couple alphas were in the area, who knows? Great trip though, and would totally go here again. And finally, REMEMBER TO BE YOU! I always am, even while teasing the venoms.

Wow, that is a massive spider! My wife and I were just talking this weekend about how busy campgrounds are these days. We wouldn't mind something more secluded for our trailer, but we also like to people watch.

What the hell is up with that freck of a spider? People must be feeding that thing. Good lordy.

Nice Camping Trip!

Why does something have to look so terrifying? Damn. Otherwise, that looks like a great place.

party on dude!

A wonderful place to spend time with family and friends, the view is beautiful and so is the waterfall but that spider is terrifying 😅

Dayum. If that spider took a bite out of you, you'd have to go to town for stitches. Any sign of birds being caught in that web.

I just love rough camping. Looks like you enjoyed it, too. Great looking camp.

Funny how I always thought tarantula's were the biggest spiders....

Maybe that's a hybrid?

Good you got some quality time with your Boys and that cabin and envirement sure looks amazing 😍
I Loove that kind of things and camping off grid.

Also LOOVE that waterfall and the rocks. Cool you had the dogs there to and I bet they had a Great time.

That Spider 🕸️🕷️
I don't usually like them, atleast not to close 😜 lol
But you sure made some beautiful close ups and that Green Orb Weaver sure have cool colors and Shape.
And geeze.. I had no idea they could be that big. And bit web to.

I still would keep my distance but I am glad I got to see one close up so I could appriciate the beauty of it.
Thank you for that 🙏💕 well captured.

And you drunk 😜 ya.. I guess a couple of alphas hanging out can do that... Lol

Much love and Hugs 🤗💋❤️🤗

What an amazing trip, its good to go out into the woods once in awhile isn't it....and i bet you had a lot of fun. I love chess myself im the best out of my family which is sad because there is no one to play against. Keep up the amazing photos aswell

Can and will do, thanks for stopping in. Maybe you'll meet a few players through Hive?

I hope i will.....

Looks like a great vacation :) And what a spider!!! I wonder if they might be able to get as big as tarantulas?
