Good one, Ustrax! When I get home from this trip I'm going to get to work on a ... suitable... response.

LOL at Ustrax. Hey Phil. Since you will get to Victoria before Oppy does with Ustrax chasing you down. Can you tell us what's in the bottomless pit or Abyss?
 and Tesheiner. What is the path Phil is running from the Overhead Shots???

Perhaps Tesheiner could annotate his map with the projected path using a distinctive colour, such as pink... ...and for music, it has to be the Benny Hill theme!

Gentlemen! Gentlemen! This won't do. We are UMSF, and we cannot allow the tyranny of distance - whether geographic or socio-cultural - to disrupt our cohesive spirit. We must be able rationally to bridge this gulf between Ustrax and Phil. Let me propose the following plan:
Ustrax travels to meet climber and gives him a huge warm hug. Next, climber goes to Italy, finds Dilo, and plants a wet kiss on each of his cheeks (facial, of course). Dilo, in turn journeys to Tesh and gives him an affectionate pinch on one cheek. Tesh transfers to Brazil, up to Texas, and warmly tousles the hair of Cosmic Rocker. CosRoc meets up with ElkGroveDan and slaps him on the butt. Dan travels to Minnesota where he pats Doug VanDorn on the shoulder, who crosses over into Canada and gives Phil the warm, but formal handshake he secretly longs for. I see no insurmountable barriers to this plan. (giggle)

QUOTE (Bobby @ May 9 2006, 07:03 PM) What is the path Phil is running from the Overhead Shots??? A straight line from the current position to the crater's center. And back to business, post-drive images from sol 814 are down on the exploratorium. Dunes everywhere! I think I'll have to take a look to the tracking web to know the current position, otherwise it will be *very difficult* to calculate the net driving distance and update the map. James, do you have already something? |

Ok, if I got that data correctly this is the new position after tosol drive.
The new site corresponds more or less to my wild guess here. More exactly, to the right (south) of the outcrops on the previous "lane". |

QUOTE (avkillick @ May 8 2006, 06:04 PM) An old proverb comes to mind - "When you reach a fork in the road, take it" This is not an old proverb. This is a direct quote of one of the USA's finast philosphers and ball players, Yogi Berra. Check out http://www.yogiberra.com/yogi-isms.html Your invocation of one of his more memorable yogi-isms reminds me of another of his sayings of which I would judge this site has litle risk of fullfilling, and I paraphrase ....'This place is so popular, nobody goes there anymore.' Thanks to all for such a pleasant daily experience. |
