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. |

As one who has hiked, biked and driven on desert terrain, I'd say keep left, or go way to the right among the rocks. If I was in an off-road vehicle in this scene I'd put it to the floor and hit that sandy stretch going into a left turn, wheels spinning, and send that sand flying into the air off to the right, to the hoots and cheers of the people in the vehicle behind me. i.e. it looks soft, and it looks deep.
