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. |

The most -- maybe the only -- interesting part of Von Braun is its cap. But I'm worried that Spirit won't be able to get to it.

Well, even if we get half way to the cap we might get some interesting remote sensing measurements.

In the mean time, it would be really cool to take a color version of that panorama looking up the valley - the composition is phenomenal! -------------------- |
