I made a comparison between Spirit's traverse and the hiking I most commonly do, between my home and Monserrate gardens in the Sintra Hills (wow! it even includes a similar climbing!) and it is quite the same distance...
How curious is seing things in this perspective... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v352/ustrax/comp.jpg -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

QUOTE (helvick @ Dec 13 2005, 03:54 PM) [attachment=2804:attachment] A bit rough but the scale is approximately right. Based on Nelson's column being 165 feet. Hey, OUR monument is bigger than YOUR monument

The Columbia Hills montage was amazing. I would now love to see a scale human figure (or building if necessary) in Endurance or Bonneville craters. This stuff is fascinating.
