The SkunkZ has relocated
Rolled into Henderson, NV yesterday evening after a rather eventful 2 day drive.
Had not even gotten out of Kansas when I had an encounter with one of the larger state rodent's...I hit a damn deer: Then it rained on me from OKC to Amarillo, had to pull off a couple times and wait it out in the Amarillo area. Cleared off until 30 miles from Albuquerque and I hit another. Had some white knuckle moments coming down the hill into the city, but thanks to a friendly truck driver who had my "6", stayed behind me and kept people off my ***, I made it to town in one piece. Saturday was uneventful, sunny beautiful drive. Albuquerque to Flagstaff to Kingman to Henderson. Here's how you travel in a C4 Gonna have to hook up with the locals, get the damage fixed and check out a few things on the car, I noticed some oil drips on the driveway last night...that's new.......oh well, we can fix anything can't we. Anyone comes out to the SinCity area drop me a line, I'd love to have company. David |

Re: The SkunkZ has relocated
Deer collisions can be MUCH worse -- sucks that it happened, but it could have been a much bigger problem!

Re: The SkunkZ has relocated
Oh man. Did it happen at night! Or during the day. At night is the worst time to drive through deer country.

Re: The SkunkZ has relocated
About 6:30am, I had just barely left home...just wasn't paying attention and they come through the ditch and up on the road before I could even react.
Like I said, could have been a lot worse as there were 2 of them, I could have taken out BOTH headlights or had one come up the hood and into the windshield. |

Glad you made it somewhat safely!
I'm back from SLC today. Lets schedule some lunch. I know John's been asking but I've been traveling... Cheers, Ron |
