While camping in the Goat Rocks Wilderness this weekend we found a spider
guarding a well-camouflaged egg sack on the side of a large rhyolitic
boulder. The egg sack was placed against the rock in small crack that was
easily seen from above. It was exposed to the full sun and any weather that
might occur. Most spider nests seem to be placed in a more hidden situation
than this.

I am wondering if there is anyone on this list that can ID this spider or
knows anything else about it.
