Fun In The Mountains...

Hey All...

So, being from Saskatchewan (Provincial Motto: "Stand on a chair...see the whole province") I don't get a lot of opportunity to drive on hills, let alone mountains but last week I got to have the thrill of a lifetime in my brand new TSX!

Went for a holiday with my wife & little sister (she's 10) out to Jasper National Park and if you want to have fun driving your TSX, Jasper is THE place to do it!

I HIGHLY recommend taking the road up to the Miette Hot Springs from the Yellowhead highway...this road offers some SUPREME 180-hairpins and some of the best curves & chicanes you're gonna see in the mountains! Honestly, it was hard to keep the speed down...it was like driving in a video game (BTW, there are several tight turns marked at "20 km/h"...that's just a guideline Ask my wife about it...lol).

Also, try the road up to the summit of Mount Edith Cavell off Highway 93A...the road isn't in the best of shape, but you'll still be able to see the suspension and steering capabilities of the TSX on this road. It was TRULY AWESOME!!!

Also wondering where all the Edmonton & Alberta TSX owners are? I spent 5 days in "Wild Rose Country" and never saw a single TSX (other than mine )

Here's a link to a pic of my TSX in the mountains in Jasper:

(Also, check out my internet radio station at http://zone365.netfirms.com) - I would have just posted the pic on here, but it says I'm limited to 1 byte (whassup wit dat?)

Have a great one!

Hi Gomez great pics. I am hoping to make a trip out west next summer (relatives in Winnipeg and Hinton). We are expecting a server upgrade in the next day or two; that is why the restriction on the attachments.
