Coming home from our Memorial Day weekend we hit a bear....Sorry about the bear... it was killed on impact ... totaled the Honda SUV, and not a scratch on us. We are just thankful we survived the accident unscathed. SO SO Thankful!
For more details about this accident, check out the post, A Wonderful Weekend that Ended Frightfully! Truly scary and a warning to all to be careful while driving at night..... there are many black bears out this year causing many accidents.
Wow. that is incredible. Glad that you are all uninjured.
We used to have big problems with deer and most people have no idea how much damage they can do to a car.
Rebecca, Sad about the bear ... sad that they need to come down so far looking for food. Thankfully it was killed on impact - no suffering. Enough about the bear. THANK GOD you are all OK ... totaled the car and you are all without a scratch. Amen!
Wow, Rebecca, I'm glad you guys are okay! I hit a deer once, and it's amazing how they come out of nowhere on a dark night.
Rebecca...
How fightening. The black bear population is at an all time high so the chances of an encounter are always going up. Glad that everyone was OK!
Rebecca-glad you made it home safely. I'm sure it will be an experience you won't soon forget.
I still can't get the sound of the impact out of my head....it was like a bomb went off right in front of us.
Hi Rebecca - I am sure that was very scary! I am sure you will lose many night's sleep. I pray for rest and peace my friend. So glad you are safe.
Sincerely,
Cathy Bureau

Yikes, I went back and read the initial post Rebecca..........what a horrible experience. So glad both of you were unscathed.
OMG Rebecca!! That's crazy!!! amazing you all are ok (except for the poor bear) I'm going to check out the other post.
Sorry about that! A friend of ours once hit a mountain lion in Colorado. He dutifully called the wildlife folks to inquire that since it was now dead could he collect the carcass and have it mounted or something..... They told him NO. It was out of season AND he didn't have a permit.... Ahhhhh... you gotta love the thinking of bureaucrats.
Rebecca, What an awful way to end a holiday weekend. Glad you and yours are okay. Read your story about the incident and the sound must have been frightful. Hope you will move on quickly from this horrible experience...
Thanks everyone for your concerns and comments. I can't believe the weekend is already here. Well I will not be driving at night at least for a while.
