Haven't we all. Exploratorium: it's a good thing. Cobbles ahead, but we'll have to approach slowly. Mars has put up speed bumps.
Aah, so good to be moving again, seeing pictures again. I am so addicted to MERs. Makes me wonder what I'll do when... if... no, I won't go there. |

Tim Parker's latest map update shows that another 70m or so was achieved heading due east on sol 2272.

Why do you ask? We should be going very slightly downhill now since we crested the ridge a while back.

Ant's panorama shows the high crater on the SE slope of Endeavor that I've been watching for. It's also an indication of just how clear the skies must be. That crater is about 32 km away!
(the scale is probably off a bit in this comparison)

Do you know that's a crater from the orbital imagery? |

Quick stitch and colour of Nav Cams from Sol 2270 - stayed up a bit later than I meant!!! Doing this is too absorbing!
Probably worth doing a better job on it so I may repost if I get the time - work is very busy. Anyway hope it gives you guys some enjoyment.
