I drove the '58 Willys CJ5 off-road today. I've driven a stick for about fifteen minutes before, and that was the other CJ5, the '61. It taxed my hard chi gong muscles as well as some new ones, being that it has no power steering and I was avoiding ruts and rocks. It was wicked fun. I can't wait to get it out to learn to drive around town, which involves lots of shifting down to first gear, kind of an odd thing, but it will be totally worth it.
Also had tons of fun taking this self-portrait. The mirror was adjusted for composition, and you can see the Mesa in the mirror, the city between the Colorado Plateau (where I am parked) and the Mesa, of course, me, and the trail head marker, and I still managed to show off a part of my little Mary Alice, the yellow jeep. I used my husband's new phone, all teched-out, and sent it straight from there to here. I do love connectivity!
