Stolen from the D Magazine Blog:
Loyal readers of the “print product” will remember Brandon Day as the cover boy for our December 2006 issue. He and his then girlfriend, Gina Allen, after dating for only about a month, took a trip together to Palm Springs. Then they rode a tram to the top of Mount San Jacinto to get some drinks at a bar — and wound up lost, spending three nights in the wilderness without shelter. Read their story. It’s truly amazing. And when they told it in the pages of D, I figured it would only be a matter of time before it became the subject of a made-for-TV movie. (Do they still make made-for-TV movies?) Well, that hasn’t happened yet. But this Friday, the story will be told from Day’s perspective on the Discovery Channel show I Shouldn’t Be Alive. The episode is titled “Date From Hell” and will air at 8 p.m. Set your TIVOs now. (Seriously. This cable TV thing is here to stay?)
I just read their story over lunch. It is amazing. Check it out if you can.

"I shouldn't be alive"
That should be your new mantra, Green.
Remember the one with that lawyer with a stick in his neck, trapped in the ravine somewhere around here - that was initially amazing, until I realized it was a lawyer - you can't just poke a snake with a stick and expect to kill it.
You read the Gayest she it.
I was wonderin if they'll ever make a movie called the Chico Chupacabra staring Mzchief as the shaved Chupacabra.
It is actually going to be on Animal Planet, not Discovery Channel.
What's the over/under on the Waco murder sentence?
Not finished reading it yet, enjoyed what I have read, however I am struggling with the writing style. I hope they make it out alive - duh!
Damn good read...never know when the walls can come caving in...
does this mean you didn't go for a nooner at lunch?
TLDR (too long; didn't read)
The writing style bothered me too, 5:13 - switching back and forth from 1st person to 3rd person is confusing.
I did enjoy reading it though. Great story. Thanks for passing it along, BG.
Here's an even better story: I went up there once also and took a walk around, but am not stupid so did not get lost. But they don't pay good money for the stories of non-idiots.
That's a pretty good story. Some sex would have made it a lot better.
Yes, Animal Planet..NOT discovery. Channel 184 on DishNetwork. Just set my DVR.
OK- I guess. Want to impress me? Survive my divorce.
Some people shouldn't venture out of the city... Darwin award candidates.
