I just did the drive in reverse order (Anchorage to Baltimore) last September. Are you crossing onto the AlCan in Minnesota or taking one of the ferries? Once you enter British Colombia, expect there to be very little along the road from then on until you cross back in at Tok. Best practice is to fill your gas tank anytime you get below half a tank, just in case. It's the middle of summer so I doubt very many stations are closed, but there were a few when I drove it last fall. There was still plenty of traffic though, so if you did end up in a bind you won't be there too long. Stop and enjoy some hot springs and enjoy the drive, the Canadian Rockies were gorgeous to drive though.

See, like, if those were spiders I’d be peeing my pants while putting a gun in my mouth. But since they’re crebs it makes me say “d’awww” and makes me want to pull up a chair and watch them do cool crab stuff for hours.

gently caress no spiders are weird and creepy and while I respect the vital role they serve in the ecosystem I would prefer if they didn’t have to be so scary while doing it.

I’d rather have a family of spiders in my house than literally any of the bugs that spiders hunt and eat. It’s like “ok I don’t really want bears in the woods but if I didn’t have a bear in the woods then I’d get eaten by wolves.” but in this metaphor bears don’t eat people.

But since they’re crebs it makes me say “d’awww” and makes me want to pull up a chair and watch them do cool crab stuff for hours. Depends on the timing. When I lived on Diego there were very few spiders (fortunately) but tons of various crabs around the island filling various niches in the ecosystem. One important niche is "tiny inch-wide crab that sneaks into Wild T's bathroom at night and scares the gently caress out of him when he wakes up at 0530 to pee". This happened several times, and I got really good at catching them with a solo cup and a piece of paper before tossing them outside. I did have four small, 3" or so wide white crabs whose burrows were directly outside my barracks door. They'd venture out at night or when it rained to do crab stuff and would bolt back into their burrows whenever I walked by, before sneaking back out moments later. I ended up naming them Larry, Curly, Moe and Shemp and I'd toss them little pieces of food and watch them scarf it. What wasn't so much fun was my neighbor dropping the cherry off his cigarette into the grass and one of them grabbed it thinking it was food, then waved it's little claw around like "owwwww". We also had Warrior Crabs, which despite the fearsome name and being giant angry-looking red guys were total softies. A big one (maybe 7" across or so) scuttled into my office when I was going out for a smoke break. He wouldn't leave voluntarily and kept defensively posturing with his claws so I pulled a palm frond off a tree and tried to get him to pinch it so I could drag him out. I spent way too long ineffectively poking his claw with this palm frond while he refused to grab it before I gave up and used the "nudge gently with boot" method to finally get him to go out the door.
