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 |

That Capo Verde outcrop looks like it would be reasonable to reach. The slope in the Duck Bay next to the outcrop looks reasonable at first glance, making that outcrop what I would think would be a good first glance target. Some of the rocks lower down in the sequence in that outcrop look layered, though I am a bit concerned that the impacting processing may have altered the original arrangment of the rocks in that area, making it difficult to assess which rocks came first in the sequence.
