    Well, it was bound to happen. Came around a curve and probably more than 100 elk were in the highway. Shut it down as fast as i could but it wasn't quite enough.

    Got the back end of a cow. Pretty lucky really. Could have been a lot worse. NB I 15 scale was closed, so no interrogation about the broken headlight. Now i've got something to do this weekend. 20231228_042125.jpg

    I ran into a hard like that one time in a one ton Dodge. Only thing that saved me from eating an air bag was that I had a snow plow hanging on the front of the truck

    Yeah, i got minor damage and a slightly bent bumper. Very fortunate. I bet they were stretched out on the highway for a quarter mile. I've had small groups of 10 or so show up in the headlights, but nothin like this.

    I got my delivery off in American Falls and headed for Glenns Ferry. I'll attempt to at least secure the damage when I get home

    If you need anything I can hop in the service truck and head your way. We're not doing much this week.

    Enjoying the summer break down under, very hot and humid up here in North Queensland so will need a few of these to get me through the day, all the best of success for 2024 may you get more miles and bigger pay checks.
