And then there was a Racoon...


I have a story for you.. so yesterday on our way down to transfers Elder Moors and I were cruising along, it is a big trip down there, its like 150 miles from Green river to SLC. So with about 45 miles left at about 100 miles an hour we hit a raccoon. This thing was huge! It was like a small black bear! So we looked at the car and saw no immediate damage and continued on. As soon as we got to the SLC exit we noticed our temp was way hot. We stopped and looked at stuff and didn't really know what was up. We had no oil on the dipstick and no coolant so we filled the oil and couldn't get coolant. We limped along stopping periodically to cool down, but then one time the car power just stopped. The car computer shut the car down. We were dead. So Moors called one of his cousins and he towed us about 10 miles with his jetta. But it is okay because we were trading our car for a new one this transfer and this gives the mission one more reason to get trucks in Wyoming.
