Back on the Road...
My travels have started. I managed to stay home for the month of September, but starting today, I will be on the road through the week quite a bit. My first trip was to Lac Edouard, Quebec. It is about three hours north of Trois-Rivieres.
It was an interesting drive, I managed to hit a moose head on and walk away unscathed. The road was hilly and as we came over the top of one of the crests, there was a moose on the right side of the road and another one straddling the centre line. I saw the one on the side first and then his buddy on the road. I hit the brakes and took out his legs and it rolled onto the hood and slammed into the windshield. The car stopped and he rolled off and then he got up on all fours and walked into the bush. We were lucky the car had a low profile and that it was a juvenile moose with no antlers, otherwise it may have been another ending. Here are some photos of the car.
The body landed on the drivers side and the head slammed the passenger side.
There was some damage to the front quarter panel.
The worst was the windshield, with some help from the locals where we were staying, we were able to get the windshield repaired, otherwise the rest of the vehicle was driveable.
The auto shop that repaired the windshield, provided a rental vehicle. A Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 HEMI, not the most environmentally friendly vehicle.
