We've seen something like that before...

 However, in sharp contrast, Big Rock requests that you call it "Daddy"... -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Large 3D view of the road ahead for Oppy... liking the misty hills on the horizon and the countless small stones strewn over the ground...

Slightly more realistic view of our big ugly crumbling friend...

On 2556 we were sitting on one of the slightly darker patches visible in the orbital imagery. Looking south, you can see more dark patches (circled in this navcam view), that basically look like low areas surrounded by light ripples:
You can see more to the north, in the upper right of this frame: http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...0M1.JPG?sol2556 |

I saw that too and made this polar view in an attempt to correlate it to the HiRISE image.
No luck.

So... adding a bit of a stretch factor to Tesheiner's polar pan, and comparing it with Tim Parker's latest route map at JPL, we get this:

For my millennial post, let me say that I agree with your ID's, Phil. I'll just indicate the darkened areas I circled in my post above by circling the corresponding areas on your map, Phil:
Enhancing the orbital view really brings out some fascinating detail in this area. It sure would be cool to know the whole history here... |

Thanks a lot!
 I logged-in just to post yet another map update (sol 2558) and found your posts above. Now, I'll redo the 2556 plot with Phil's ID and post the map later on (edit: done). Meanwhile just say that today's drive was "only" 65m ESE to the vicinity of crater "C".

Scott tweeted that the drive would be longer, stopping mid-way for some crater imaging. Is it possible your map shows the midpoint of the drive, or was the drive terminated early?

Is it possible your map shows the midpoint of the drive, or was the drive terminated early? The latter, I would say. Yestersol pictures are still missing but, based on the info available on the pancam website, the "post-drive" hazcam images correspond to the sequences I'm highlighting here below and no movement actually happened between the two navcam mosaics with SeqIDs 1993 (mid-drive) and 0663 (post-drive).
