Looking down.

Another view of the wheel and the wheeltracks.

Well, I guess we're gonna get very familar with Spirit's current locale.

Let's start off by trying to decide if it's an extension of Homeplate:
http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/pa...00P2406R1M1.JPG

Looks like the wheel scuffed over two layered rock segments, and when the wheel scuffed the edge, it looked like sulfates.

So are these layered rocks near Low Ridge Haven related to Homeplate? (which is now thought to be an ash deposit?) Can Spirit essentially study the Homeplate formation from her winter hideaway?

Here's the same image above with lines to show the rock layers I'm referring to:
