Finally drove away from Pahrump Hills on sol 923. Wheel tracks sure are piling up at the end of the drive -- there seems to have been quite a bit of slip.
[admin note: I was going to start a new thread for this, but realized our thread naming may be a bit out of whack because we're really not journeying to Mt Sharp anymore, are we? We'll discuss it with admins and I'll move/rename posts when we figure out our naming schema.] -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

Mars is full of serendipity. You spend 6 months throughly exploring and studying a scientifically important area (Pahrump Hills), then hit the road and travel less than 100m before finding Garden City.
To explore Mars with less chance of driving by unseen treasures (just 100m away behind a hill or in the next canyon over), it would be nice to have a swarm or rovers or a rover with a drone scout -------------------- |
