When this football playoff situation came to light last week, Dan and I were not sure how far the Chargers would go in the playoffs. If they won on Saturday they would travel to Deluth the next Saturday. We knew we couldn't afford to fly to all the games, so we decided to drive to St. Cloud, and then fly if the Chargers should continue their run.
Well this proved to be a costly mistake. On our way home, just about two hours outside of Minneapolis we hit a deer. We were in a town called Osseo Wisconsin. Interestingly we live near an Osseo Michigan. The car was not drivable. We ended up having to spend the night in a hotel. There was another couple in a similar situation, except they hit a BEAR instead of a deer.
We were able to get a one way car rental - this was somewhat of an ordeal - to get home. On the plus side we were not hurt, and we do not think our car is totalled. We are also friends with our insurance agent and were able to talk with him right after the accident.
I guess this was one of those situations where you don't know what to do until you're faced with it. So for now we are safe and sound at home, while my beautiful, roomy car, with the heated seats, sits in a lot in Osseo Wisconsin.
