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. |

Spirit has covered about 1/3 of the distance to VB since the decision to use the west valley has been taken.
Even if troubles could come ahead, I was not expecting such a fast pace. Good on you rover drivers. -------------------- |

Good on you rover drivers. Don't get excited. The most difficult part is still to come. We knew that this terrain was relatively easy. Good that this week I'm switching to the other side of the planet.
