Can West Spur be seen fron the Inner Basin? Maybe that's the "lookout point" that Spirit was originally supposed to head for after arrival at West Spur. Before the arrival of winter required sticking to the north side of Husband Hill.

centsworth_II is correct. This is Lookout Point.

Here is a link with a good view of the relationship of Inner Basin, Lookout Point and West Spur. Remember when Lookout Point was the planned destination after West Spur? I think the "detour" to the top of Husband Hill was a much more interesting trip.

You are correct. It is Lookout Point. My mistake. Sorry. jvandriel |

Good catch. I have been looking back for a glimpse of Lookout Point for a while. Now I find myself sleeping at the critical moment. I was kind of hoping for a closer view, though.

I'm glad you posted that image, jvandriel. Looking back at Lookout Point made me very nostalgic. Spirit never visited that spot, but it figured very prominently in the planning as the rover approached the Columbia Hills. It makes me think of Spirit's saga, the paths taken and those not. Lookout point turned out to be one of the paths not taken, but Spirit did reach Homeplate which was as far as anyone ever dreamed she could get. She's old and hobbled now, but what a life she has lived.
As I said, I'm feeling nostalgic, but I don't mean for this to sound like a eulogy. Spirit has plenty of life left and more discoveries to make. |
