Thank you for your kind words kymani76. It is great to see you're back!

Update to sol 3758.
Hole #37 "Tapo Caparo" has been successfully drilled and added to te hole collection.
Get a really close view by selecting from the left panel "Science > Locations and Targets > Drill Locations > Tapo Caparo" and double_click on the small round brown icon to the left of the Tapo Caparo link.

The Marker Band has proved really difficult and the 4th drill attempt did not go deep enough.
Curiosity is back on the MSAR path, after a long drive back on sol 3744.

The new drill attempt area on sol 3739, with more target names. Still can't tell from the images if the drill was actually attempted.

It wasn't for the taste of the Caña Dulce (sweet cane) meteorite that Curiosity came back, but to attempt another drill. This time on the path it had already driven on.
Added some targets and moved Caña Dulce (still a guess but a better one, hopefully).

A long (90+ meters) back on sol 3733, perhaps to take a second look at a meteorite . No new target names yet.

Curiosity has driven back. The new location is near the sol 3715 location. Between those two sits the supposed meteorite (see Charborob's post #727).

Here it is, as seen from the new viewpoint:

Hi Glevesque,

I think Curiosity is driving on the top of the Marker Band, but if someone knows otherwise please correct me.
