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. |

Whoa! I didn't thought you could drive so strait on 5 weels ... We have refined a set of self correcting arcs that seem to work quite well on this type of terrain. It gets more complicated when the terrain is not very uniform and less firm. The Sol 1854 and 1856 drives seem to have been on quite benign terrain.
