I headed up to the Sierras with a friend in a 1982 Plymouth Reliant K car to meet up with my boyfriend and his fraternity brothers at a rock face they liked to climb. We&#8217;d missed them at the original spot and had to come back down the dirt, one-lane road that snaked up the hill.

Dusk was near, and in the interest of not becoming bear appetizer I jumped out the car, mud rising past my ankles (there went my white Keds), and had my friend slide behind the driver&#8217;s seat. I pushed as she hit the gas, the car eventually lurched out of the sticky mud, and I landed face-first in said mud.]]>Tue, 18 Dec 2012 11:43:15 -0500<![CDATA[Bridget Johnson]]>https://pjmedia.com/bridget-johnson/2012/12/18/giving-in-to-the-call-of-adventure-in-a-2013-jeep-wrangler-moab-n143590
