I have been enjoying these old road trip reports. I wanted to point out that moose are also a great hazard to moving vehicles. They are so tall and massive, they hit the windshield with lots of damage.
Volvo did a crash test in this video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7va6-0StIK4
Warning: video has real Volvo and fake moose damage.
