Since Spirit is no longer "Running for the Hills" and it appears that she will be staying at Low Ridge Haven for the next eight months or so, it seems like a good time to start a new topic.
I thought we could start with the great panorama stitched by jvandriel, and then altered by Tesheiner. We are going to become very familiar with this view in the coming months. David [attachment=5107:attachment] (286k) |

It's OK Bob - I'll take this one...
Dust Devils did not clean Spirit.  Doug |

You ought to consider programming a 'hot key' for this reply.
 But I seriously worry that we may be getting more and more anxious for ANY sort of wind event as the months wear on at Low Ridge. Dust strangulation would be a particularly agonizing way for Spirit to go. -------------------- My Grandpa goes to Mars every day and all I get are these lousy T-shirts!

Common missconceptions require frequent correction.
I can see how and why it started - but the relation between cleaning and dust devils is simply that summer has stronger winds, and the summer also has more DD's. The connection is also furthered by the fact that we were in a topographically adventagous place during the summer. Doug |
