Joshua Tree National Park
The signs read 4x4 only, but we couldn't resist visiting every corner of the park.
We scraped the bottom on the ground a few times, picking up some sand on the way, but the TSX did great -- very comfortable and fun to drive.
The Bullhorn Sheep (1 of est. 250 in the park)
More photos here.
Camera: Canon 20D with Sigma 10-20, Canon 24-70 2.8, Canon 70-200 2.8.

Awesome shots. I was there back in 2003, but now that I'm in Western Canada, those pics are making me think "ROAD TRIP!"
There's a great twisty road going up from Anza Borrego to the top of the mountains on your way back to San Diego from the Salton Sea that I would have loved to have driven in the TSX. Only had a Focus rental when I was there.

Someone from the Bay Area made an offer for it, but I'm leary about doing business with someone from the other side of the state. They haven't even looked at the car yet!

My family used to have a ranch in Brazil and the roads were much much worst than these, especially when it rained. The mud was dark red and made its way into everything. I thought if we could make it through those roads with a Passat, the desert should be easy on a TSX.
It did incur one little scratch when the tripod fell on a door.
A couple day's worth of dust will cover it up...
