Travelling North
Erin and I were heading to her parents’ cabin in northern Minnesota for the long weekend on Friday night, when we hit a deer on Hwy 371, just north of Little Falls, where 10 and 371 split apart. I hit the deer on the passenger side fender and the grill area, so the damage could have been way worse. And luckily, Erin’s parents just happened to be about 5 miles behind us on the road, so when we called them, we just had them pull over and pick us up so we could continue on to the cabin.
The car is still in Little Falls getting worked on, I just paid the car off in March, but thankfully I kept the comprehensive insurance so I’ll just have to pay the $500 deductible instead of the whole bill.
Since Erin had the rest of the week off of work, our friends Becky and Rett graciously let us borrow their car for a couple days so Erin could have a car during the day. (Thanks!)
All in all, for hitting a deer it was actually rather painless (for us, not the deer).
