We hit a deer.

I didn't even see it.

We pulled the RV from home to Walmart to stay overnight, so we could hit the interstate easily tomorrow when we leave for Biloxi. We live w-a-y out in the country.

Well, George was driving slowly, and the poor young deer just came out of nowhere, on a hill. There was nothing to do. I didn't even see it, and it came from my side. It went under the front tires, back tires, and then the rv tires. It was AWFUL. I sobbed for ten minutes.

It didn't do any damage to the truck, none to the rv, however, there is a small mess to clean up off of the front of the rv and the left jack. At least it did not suffer.

What a way to end my birthday. And George feels horrible, although there was NO WAY to avoid it.

You know, this really brought home how heavy these rigs are, and how powerless we are to make a quick stop.
