An unwanted souvenir

When we traveled to Idaho for Christmas there was a big storm suppose to move into Colorado and Wyoming. We ended up leaving a day early to avoid it. Because of the change of plans we drove a lot of our trip in the dark and ended up with this for a souvenir from our trip....

In case you were wondering it wasn't another car it was a buck...a huge buck that ran into us on the freeway. Randy tried to go around him so that he didn't hit him head on. But we think he just got spooked so he rammed us. Surprisingly this is all the damage he did to our car. With the size of horns we had we half expected our car to be scratched to pieces. We have been without a mirror since before Christmas. And it's been kind of annoying. We were pulled over three times on our way home because we didn't have mirror. It is really hard to see to drive without it we have found. Our car is getting fixed as we speak so we will just have to live with the pictures as a souvenir from this trip home!!!

I feel for you. We had my husbands truck in the shop last week because at Thankgiving his brother ran into the open door while he was putting the kids in their car seats. I think a mirror is better than a door.

My parents hit a deer in Roy Utah a few years ago... scarey.

Wow...I'm glad that was the only damage. We almost hit an elk at night once in Wyoming. What a great way to wake you up!
