An abrupt end to our camping season
Well....I should be sitting by a campfire enjoying some nice fall weather right now. We were going to try and take advantage of a 3-day weekend and get one last trip in for the 2013 season. Unfortunat...

Thank God you and your daughter are unhurt.
I have to tell you that from reading your post, you sound more accepting of the situation than I'd probably be. That was absolutely no accident. That drunk driver deliberately made the decision to drink and drive. Nearly injuring or killing you and your daughter in the process. Not to mention damaging your prized truck possession. I'd be so livid that I'd be having a near out of body experience. A true accident is something that couldn't have been avoided and sometimes we just have to roll with the punches. But this...this is inexcuseable and was absolutely no accident. I hate it for you that it was probably too late in the day and too close to the weekend for the drunk drivers insurance company to rent you a comparable truck for the weekend to tow your trailer with and complete your weekend. Thankfully you both walked away unhurt.
If we're ever hit by a drunk driver, I swear I'll spend the rest of my life doing everything I can to make the drunk driver's life totally miserable and to pay, and pay, and pay some more in restitution. Heaven help the drunk/impaired driver who hits us and totals our truck or causes injury or death. The world won't be small enough for that person. I have absolutely zero tolorance when it comes to DUI. None. Period. No grey area, no forgive and forget, no; "He/she had a bad childhood and wasn't loved as a child". Sixteen or eighty years old. Nada...zip...zero tolorance or excuse. I'll spend my life savings to have that sucker put away if the steate doesn't do it for as long as possible.
I sincerely hope your truck is repaired good as new. Maybe you'll have a late winter and after your truck is repaired, you can still get in that one last camping trip before winter sets in. Good luck. And sue that POS drunk driver far above and beyond his insurance limits. That POS drunk driver deliberately tried to kill you and your daughter. I'd do everything possible to make sure it was his last ever attempt.
Happy camping!!! See y'all down the road!!!:)
