There is also a short "surprize" update from Steve Squyres...
"Just a quick one today. We had a great drive with Spirit on Sol 576, and we're now approaching the summit region of Husband Hill. What we've learned from the latest images is that the thing we've been calling Summit 1 -- which we had thought from orbital images was the lower of the two summits -- is actually the higher one. So we're bound for Summit 1 now, instead of Summit 2. Near as we can tell, we're only about six vertical meters below it, and the path from here to there does not seem to present any impassable barriers.
