RF wheel currents were beginning to trend upwards again so the drivers on shift decided to start driving backwards again and rest for a while.
There is some challenging terrain about 500m ahead and we will have to sit and think which way to go. This next resting period will come in handy for that.

There is some challenging terrain about 500m ahead and we will have to sit and think which way to go. It does look tricky. My favourite route at the moment would be something like this, using patches of bedrock to move east and moving south when in areas where the drift material looks dangerous.

How about that! We are considering a path similar to that one but most of the drivers prefer a path that goes all around (westward) the area of Purgatoids that is just south of the rover.

To my eye, angling south-west now, then proceeding close to the edges of the HiRISE photo south then east seems to offer the cleanest route to the really nice looking terrain in the eastern third of the shot. Is that the way being favoured?

Is that the way being favoured? Yes. Still the route has not been decided yet. We will use the next resting period to analyze the HiRISE in detail and come to a conclusion on which route to take.
