Webwalking - Part II

Ugh.. I hate it. I still hate bugs.

This time of year, since I often walk alone, I spend entire days clearing webs with my face - In many cases I come across them about every 5-10 feet, literally hundreds of webs broken per mile. It's disgusting.

But, after a while you just get used to it. It takes too much energy to keep stopping and clearing them away - So you walk along, feeling them wrap around your ears and your head, your arms and hands. You just try to put it out of your mind.

Occasionally, after a "webrunning" you see or feel a spider crawling up your face -The amount of time it takes for a spider to climb from any area of your face to your nose, eyes or ears is exactly 2.3 seconds. At this point, you stop, do the hokey pokey screaming and wave erratically until your fellow hikers think you are mad. But you get it off you in a jiffy, and plod on knowing there are more spiders ahead.

I hate spiders and all other bugs - always have, always will... Where are the bloody bats?
