I was camping in a place called Turkey Foot WMA campground about twenty years ago. Anyway one September morn I was firing up the coalman stove when a huntsman(wolf) spider about 3 inches wide ran past my wife who screamed and jumped back in the tent. She came out after I finished breakfast, and feeling a bit sadistic I told her to look up at the space between two trees. About 25 feet up was an enormous orb web about 15 FEET wide that had a dried oak leaf for a counter weight. The girl in it was slightly bigger than my outstretched hand. I never got her to camp in Turkey foot again.--Ray
