Cool My new RX pic

Drove the RX up the California coast last week. I took this picture and thought you guys would appreciate it.

It's in Leggett, CA. Specifically, where Highway 1 and Highway 101 intersect (at the end of Highway 1 North). It's about 5 hours north of San Francisco.

Aparently there are several trees you can drive through up there. Just remember to fold in your mirrors first.

Ah, I didn't notice your mirrors folded in until you mentioned it Thats a great picture! It doesn't look wide enough for all vehicles to fit through - it seems like the RX barely fits.

Now I'm guessing that the passenger had to get out before you went under the tree in order to take the picture. That wouldn't happen to be a Sequioa from the Toyota family?

It seemed a lot tighter when I was going through it. I was actually surprised to see how much room I had when I saw the picture. It goes without saying that I was sweating bullets hoping that I wouldn't hear a loud scratching sound from one side of the RX. Glad to have made it in one piece!

Next time, I'll have to stick my head out the sunroof for the picture.
