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.

Today was driving sol and I just checked the pancam web to find out that Spirit did another 20+ meters move, definitely entering the West Valley.

Looking forward the pictures to confirm it. Meanwhile, I'll make a preliminary route map update... Done.
