Could have kept going, but that sand (dust?) is soft

Actually, I'd say it looks firmer (shallower?) than Purgatory...

My mental image of the sand is that it is fluffy and compactable, much like newfallen snow. I would love to see cross sections of some shelby tube samples of that material. I imagine that once we get to the higher relief parts of this ripple field we will eventally encounter a fresh slump and we'll be able to examine an undisturbed cross section.

Based on Sol608 imagery, Opyy covered almost 11m in West direction (updated route map will arrive soon)

I wonder why the Spirit traverse maps are updated regularly, while the Opportunity maps are still at sol 566 sad.gif

Interesting update! They did plan for a 45 meter drive, but Oppy stopped when slippage exceeded 40%. 45 meter in this sort of terrain seems pretty impressive to me.
Note: we're in restricted (low budget) mode again.

They've probably switched to using Dilo's maps smile.gif

So Opportunity driving today? Guess these from yesterday then, wonderful rocks I like one of the first kind below in my garden! tongue.gif

Seens to be another bluberry on stalks rock.

Sediments and a LOT of blueberries.

Sorry for absence in the last days (I had some HW troubles...). Seems someone missed my maps wink.gif .
Oppy is now heading NE, maybe to avoid the big dunes...

Dilo: Your route map updates have certainly been missed by more than one of us. I'm glad to hear that you have apparently conquered your HW problems and are back. smile.gif

I really wanted to see an updated map today, and there it was, as if delivered by an angel. Welcome back.

Welcome back Dilo.

> Seems someone missed my maps.

I think everybody missed you maps! Thanks for the update. biggrin.gif

While you were offline I was updating my own route map "on the blind". I checked it against your last update and my guesses for sols 615 and 616 almost fit with yours. Just a very minor issue wrt 616 position: I think the point you indicate on the top right corner picture should be a little bit westward.
