Today (sol 610) is planned as driving day.
Available info suggests a move WSW followed by NW driving on next sols. |

Yup - Purgatory 2 is right on the left there, then a rather brave drive between bits of dune to head out onto more outcrop...
The rover drivers are getting very clever  Looking at the increasingly valuable pancam tracking those navcam frames are from... 608 p1655.01 10 0 0 10 0 20 navcam_5x1_az_90_1_bpp 609 was restricted, and 610 was further driving. These reports of 30 - 40+ metre drives are very promising, even with restricted sols, that's a weekly drive distance of 150m or so, not too shoddy. Doug |

Imagine walking through a garden laid out like that. Flat, light-coloured cobbling cutting under drifts of dark regolith. Gorgeous! Opportunity ought be sweeping away its messy tracks as it goes.

Looks like they only moved a couple of metres with the most recent drive.

The right inside wall of the left front wheel trench is really clean-cut. Too bad they didn't check it out with the MI!
