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. |

Navcam anaglyph mosaic facing east, sol 1858. 180x90 degree cylindrical projection. QuickTime VR version (2.9MB) Looks like the rover drivers have some challenging terrain ahead. |

Looks like the rover drivers have some challenging terrain ahead. <back-seat mode on> The West Valley has an E-W slope, perpendicular to the planned path, so I would suggest to keep Spirit as much as possible to the left (near HP) to avoid losing altitude. <back-seat mode off> |
