Episode 46 – Subie Offroad and Softroad with Jasmyn Johnson

We had a very interesting conversation with Jasmyn Johnson who participates and coordinates off-road and soft-road adventures with her Subaru Crosstrek. We learn what those terms (and several others) actually mean, and what the rules are when planning these runs. She gives us some how-tos and advice on how to get started. We also talk about the common elements of all car-related activities. Spoiler alert – good people and food!

Exploring state parks sounds like a lot of fun. We hope you enjoy learning about it as much as we did!
