re: Where to go night camping in central Louisiana with a tent?

My hiking buddy (college roommate) always makes me go first because his eyesight isn't the best. Well now he always tells the story of the banana spider landing on my forehead at Chicot State Park. We were a few miles into the trail and I had knocked down all of the webs for the past few hours. Apparently I missed one and walked straight in to a banana spider and it positioned itself right in the middle of my forehead. He claims I did some karate chops as well as stop drop and roll action to get the demon off of me. He tells the story every chance he can get.
