Let's use this topic for the last stops (Cabo Frio, perhaps?) before Opportunity leave the vicinity of Victoria for good.

This is like a treasure hunt or playing "Where's Opportunity?" ... head south 153m, then southeast for 150-200m and find a target southeast 300m of your first position.
OK, so without taking a massive leap across an unnamed 'bay', I guess that with a few turns we'd end up somewhere here (?) Any location along this part of VC will produce great views (oh, and of course 'great science'). I'd especially like a view across that large slumped area. Plus the view back along VC to Duck Bay will be spectacular! Anywhere really....Go Oppy! Astro0 |

On the image above, the end of your tracks are exactly at the second (and last) imaging location at VC. The first location is at the edge of the rim just above the 150 marker.
