On the slope of Santa Maria... Judging from the drive direction pans, we're headed pretty much in the direction in Stu's image next drive. Perhaps to the "saddle" along the rim behind the big rock in that image? These rocks are big enough that I'm sure they'd want to go around them, not over. |

So, the plan is to get closer and have a look at the inside, and rocks studies will comme afterward, right? -------------------- |
