Tesheiner, I read about the 10K mark, and was hoping that you had updated the route map to show the excursion that put us over the mark -- and you didn't disappoint!
By the way, I'm thinking that Oppy's getting ready to head back to Duck Bay, which looks like the past entry path, plus nice vertical cliffs to examine on the way in . . . |

While looking at the images from sol 1100 I found that they tested what is called VTT (Visual Target Tracking, one of the new software capabilities) during the drive in that sol. There are some references about VTT on the net, including this one on the status report of sol 992:
QUOTE During the drive on Sol 992, rover planners performed the first step of the in-flight checkout of one of the rover's new technologies: visual target tracking (VTT). This first checkout included picking a target to track, driving, and testing the rover's knowledge of how its position changed relative to the target. The rover performed this activity as planned. The next step will be to execute a drive to a VTT target. Here below is a navcam image from sol 1098. The rover moved on that direction on sol 1100, passing by a group of peebles seen on the top/right quadrant.  (click to enlarge)That group of rocks was the target, as can be seen on this pancam from sol 1100 named "pancam_VTT_1_L2R2" and taken immediately after starting the driving manouver.  The same group was imaged again at mid-drive (pancam sequence "pancam_VTT_2_L2R2"), then Opportunity left for its destination in the middle of Cape of Good Hope.  It looks like it was "right on the money". In any case, I hope they don't use this feature on the "lump" or "Hoy". Just in case.
