Time for a new thread.
After moving southwards for ages, the "detour" by the western path has started with a 60+ meters drive on sol 1942. There are no images yet --they should be available on the next update-- so this image was calculated solely based on the rover's mobility info. I'll update the route map later. |

The latest traverse map looks puzzling. Does this mean the Oppy team have now abandoned going West and will resume a route to the South?
Or is there some other reason for the U turn? |

...Or is there some other reason for the U turn? Go back to post 43 of this thread and read on from there. Yes, the reason is to go back for a look at the rock, Block Island. |
