All that way for a less than thorough cleaning?! - Hilarious image, thx!

Probably soil disturbed by the wheels.
Do you have a link to put the picture into context?

Is this rear hazcam sequence the "clever trick"?

Hmm... What else could it be. I first noticed that sequence of right-rear hazcam shots tonight. I was not able to perceive the rock poised to fall inside the wheel's rim from the sol 1843 images, but the 13 subframe images from sol 1847 apparently show a cobble falling into and then being ejected from that wheel's interior. (edited: After reviewing enhanced contrast versions of the images I think I was seeing a shadow rather than a cobble.) sad.gif

I made the attached, cropped, animated gif from that sequence of images. All of the 13 frames were captured approximately 25 seconds apart. This sped-up animation compresses ~25 seconds to 0.3 seconds per frame.

I think the decision to give up ploughing around here and head around the west side of HP deserves a new thread. Lets get moving!

I've split off the last few posts to The West Valley Route
