Here're the latest navcam pictures taken during sol 1850: http://nasa.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/navcam/2009-03-18/
Spirit is no longer stuck, but I think the attempt to go on top of HP via the NE path is finished and we are going to the West Valley. A pancam mosaic of the western route is planned for tosol. |

Can we see the dust devil (or another one) there too? (Farther away, fainter, and a bit to the right of its position in the navcam view.)

There was a dust devil on the right side of that mosaic; it's subtle in this terrific natural-color version. Not related to the big one, though, since it was taken at a different time.
