Deb and I were in a hurry to break in the new ride so we could have some fun next week on our holidays.
In the last five days we drove the PCA June 27th Fraser Valley Tour and on Friday drove down to Mt Vernon to pick up some auto parts. We decided to drive east on # 20 to Winthrop then head up to Canada via Osoyoos and spend the night at our place in Chain Lake outside of Princeton. The new ride should have the compulsory 1,600 km by then.
Everything was going as planned, even found some great new roads to avoid the congestion on #20 from Mt Vernon all the way to Republic! At 9:30 PM we were 1 km from our place at the lake. I came around a sweeping bend into a straightaway doing about 70 km. The road dropped off about 6-8 ft. on the right side.
Yep! Sure enough, a deer jumps out of the drop off onto the road right in front of the car. I stood on the brakes and tried to steer left around it but still hit it. No avoiding this one. Luckily no one was injured, but one dead deer!

Note the fur still stuck in the hood!
