Gerardo,
Sounds like a great vacation.
FYI, if you ever find a Moose in the
roadway DON'T BLOW YOUR HORN AT IT. I
once talked to a truck driver who blew
his air horns at a moose. He ended up
sitting on top of the cab and when the
moose had finished his task the tractor
had to be towed away. Moose just don't
take to having a horn blown at them.
Especially in mating season.
It is also highly recommended that if
you are going into moose country you
should cover any deer deflectors you may
have on your car. They seem more
inclined to draw a moose towards you
rather than to deflect them......

Subject: OT: Im back!! From Vacation
Hello all, I am finally back after 5000
miles of travel through Nevada, Utah,
Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Washington,
Oregon and California!! We had a great
vacation, did some car stuff while we
were gone. Went to Harrah's Museum in
Reno, Bonneville Salt Flats speedway in
Utah. The highlights though were
Yellowstone, Grand Teton's, Salt lake
City, Mount St. Helen's, Snake River
Canyon, Patricks Point, and mostly
getting time to spend with my wonderful
wife and kids!!. I only saw one Datsun
during my trip, poor thing was sitting
neglected in a small town in Oregon. Our
vacation went well. I don't think I
will forget some things like having a
buffalo charge my truck as I drove down
the raod in yellowstone, Glad he didn't
catch us, must have been having a bad
day. The next day we were trapped in a
Buffalo traffic jam, things were ok
until two Buffalo came up to our truck,
made the wife and kids nervous, they
did the strangest thing. They proceeded
to walk around the truck and lickthe
grille, sides and bumpers of the
truck??? Go figure, needless to say
they
were about 1500 lbs each and just about
were eye level to us in my 4 wheel
drive GMC full size truck. The wildlife
we saw included Buffalo, Elk, Deer,
River Otter's, Moose, Bald Eagle's, Sea
Lions, Harbor Seal's, Sea Birds, One
shark, Racoons, Antelope, Mountain
Goats, Coyotes, etc.. After being gone
this long There were over 600 messages
that came through, For those of you
that wrote me please be patient while I
sort through them I will respond to
you as soon as possible.
Glad to be home and see the list has
been active!!
Gerardo
