Big Wally Has a BooBoo

Gloria has named my truck Wally.......I don't know why Wally !  I don't ask a lot of questions.

Any how yesterday afternoon I was making a squirrel run going south on US 23.  I was behind a fairly new Jayco 5th wheel camper.  There may have been a vehicle going in the other direction, I am not sure, but there were 2 bicyclers riding along the shoulder on my lane.  All of a sudden bang !  then there was a major divot in the hood and a 20 inch crack in the windshield.  I never saw it coming.  I kept driving as I only had a mile or two to go to my squirrel drop off pint.  Once I freed the passenger I looked at my hood and saw a long gouge and dent, right down to the metal.  You can see the damage in the pics below. I don't know what hit the truck but I think the bikers were glad I was there with Wally.

This won't end up effecting our upcoming travel plans.  I called our insurance company (Auto Owners ) and then this morning called Wheelers ( Chevy Dealer) and got on the body shop schedule.
Went in for an estimate this afternoon and they faxed it to the insurance company.  The insurance company called by 4 pm and said the estimate looked goo and check would be in tomorrows mail.

Truck goes in Monday and we should have it back Tuesday late.  $1046.00 for the repair and windshield.  We leave Thursday.

I still don't know what hit the truck or where it came from, but was surprised it wasn't in the box of the truck.  I may go for a bike ride along there, it is part of one of our routes.  I might see something on the side of the road with a little white paint on it.
