Have a look to this mosaic; it will probably be one of the lasts to include Victoria on sight.
Sol 1983 was driving day, about 47m SSW. And you know what? Like on many previous driving sols, "post-drive" images were taken (navcams here) including a pancam mosaic called "drive_dir" and that one is NOT headed towards the next capes but to the SOUTH (-160º actually). So, I would say that we are leaving Victoria for good! |

Another sol, another 127m WSW... It looks like it might have been longer, except the rover took a little detour (or zig-zag) in the middle of the drive. I'd love to know why, but for that we must wait... At least it looks like she drove until late into the afternoon. |
