Now yes - while it's fair to say we have arrived at the rim of Vic - the rule were that the 'arrival' date would be the sol at which the rover arrives at the point from which the mother-of-all-pans is taken... so we're not there yet. (i.e. We'll probably take photos when we arrive in Valencia on Sat PM - but personally, I wont feel I've arrived till the following morning when I have a look out the window....and you're right Fred - it's that FIRST big MOAP that is the important one )
But that doesn't mean we can't have a new thread Doug |

What wonderful outcrops and active erosional features. I'm all a'quiver with the first views of the Victoria rim and capes and bays. Looking at the surface of Duck Bay it does look passable for an initial toe-dip. I'm almost giddy in anticipation over the first L257's we'll be getting in the next couple of Sols.
