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! |

... and the classic route map update too.
Just checked the tracking info and today is NOT a driving sol, probably because yesterday pictures were downlinked too late for panning the next move. |

... and the classic route map update too. I'm somehow pleased...comparing your latest map with my Valentine's delirium looks like finally I was able to get one direction right along this mission... (Sorry for the low definition of my map but I've deleted the original...) See how I, through my fantastic precognitive powers, nailed the place where we would left Victoria?... -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"
