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

New maps at JPL, including some new placenames on Victoria's rim:

Got some words from SS, on the stops Paolo made reference to, the reason and how much time will Oppy take there?:
"The objective there will be the same as the objective was at our many stops along the northern rim... to image stratigraphy on the opposing cliff faces. It's hard to predict exactly how long they'll take, but we'll try to get them wrapped up as quickly as possible." And what about aditional stopovers? Will there be any or are we clear to hit the road after these two? "You never know... depends on what we find. We're exploring new territory now, and whenever we see something that merits a stop, we'll stop. But we intend to hit the road as soon and as fast as we can." "hit the road as soon and as fast as we can" I like the sound of that... -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"
