This is a grass/funnel weaver spider (family Agelenidae); likely in the genus Agelenopsis. Not dangerous to humans.

1. In North America, hobo spiders are found only in the Pacific Northwest.
2. Their medical importance has been greatly exaggerated; their is no conclusive evidence that their bite poses a serious danger to humans - http://www.spiders.us/species/eratigena-agrestis/
