Impressive drive on 3717 right up to the base of Black Tusk/Fin.

Also it looks like some mid-drive pancam imaging:

And we now have a completely clear (and very scenic) view of the approach to Tribulation:

It looks like those pancam shots were mid-drive imaging of Black Tusk/Fin. What a place this is.

I thought we would spend some time at Fin - but it did look like more breccia.

I place the 3718 location here, based on some of the little ripples around us now:

You're right, fredk, and here's a circular projection of Jan's panorama to prove it.

So, do we know yet what route has been chosen to get to the "smectite valley"?
I think I saw something from L. Crumpler that indicates that Opportunity will be doing some hill climbing. wheel.gif

Me too ! I'm deceived we did not take a 360° pan from this vantage point : I think we missed a very nice & spectacular view with Fin at the foreground...
It would have been great for doing good EPO ! smile.gif
