It's to protect the tarantulas, not the hikers. Tarantulas are gentle, lovely creatures.

Ya know, you should go on one of those tarantula hikes, old chum.

My friend who died late last yr. kept a tarantula in a terrarium for several yrs. They don't scare me.

The hike did cross my mind, but it's in the next county (our counties are big) around 35 crow-flight miles from here. I'd have to take a heavy-rail train to this Thousand Oaks place, & then a cab or something to wherever in the mtns. the hike starts. I'll stick w/ Griffith Pk.
