Have a look to this mosaic; it will probably be one of the lasts to include Victoria on sight.

Sol 1983 was driving day, about 47m SSW. And you know what? Like on many previous driving sols, "post-drive" images were taken (navcams here) including a pancam mosaic called "drive_dir" and that one is NOT headed towards the next capes but to the SOUTH (-160º actually).

So, I would say that we are leaving Victoria for good! biggrin.gif
