“Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
And I'll call you back.” 🎶

A likely story, no doubt. Our favorite part of spring is walking into spider webs and screaming every time. What’s yours?

We’ve all walked through a web. Here’s a few tips to get through it. Well, you already went through it, but we digress. Here’s some tips. 

🕸️ As you walk down a trail, use a stick to make first contact with potential webs, unless you prefer using your face. Do what feels right.

🕸️ Sleep in and let the early risers clear the trail for you. Or bring a (We’re not going to say it. Rhymes with wall) friend with you and put them up front.

🕸️ Keep in mind the average spider can spin or repair a web in about 30 to 60 minutes. Something to consider if the trail is a loop and you’re doing laps or if you’re feeling guilty for ruining the spider’s day. How could you?
