It looks like we had a pretty good drive on 4078 roughly to the east (or NE) and now have a better view down into Marathon Valley:

Tentative plan for the explortion of Marathon Valley, from the latest PS update:
QUOTE From Private Reubin Field, Opportunity will loop around Marathon Valley on her walkabout. "We have about five stops identified along the north rim, before we circle around to the southern part of Marathon Valley where we see north-facing slopes that will improve our power by the time winter comes," said Golombek.
