My guess is we are probably within 3 months of Opportunity leaving Victoria Crater?

Which SOL will she leave?

I predict SOL 1640

THAT is a poser. I'm inclined to vote "never" myself, but think I'll go with, say, November 12.

Burns is gonna be absolutely fascinating, but I also think that gaining access to all spots of interest on the cliff face as well as the scree rocks will be problematic; it'll take a lot of time due to careful planning and taking "baby steps" to look out for sand traps. If Oppy survives, there will come a time to back out & at least go look at other interesting places on the rim of Vicky.

I don't see her setting course for other destinations, though, unfortunately.
