I'd say that the sol 634 drive put the Kimberley in the rear-view mirror, so it's time for a new thread! Let's see how fast they can move toward Murray Buttes now!

A circular version of Dig's partial panorama. Map update tomorrow (I'm home but this is a holiday in Canada)
EDIT - and we have a name! The rocky area SW of the rover is "Wesley Yard" (http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/images/MSL_Tr...ol0634-full.jpg) Thanks Fred! Much appreciated. PS: nice hat. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Here I have 'borrowed' jmknapp's nice topo map (posted in the route maps) and merged it with a CTX image. The red and orange hills at lower right are in the big dune field. This shows nicely that we have 1 km or so of driving across the depression we're in now, and then it will be uphill most of the time. The dunes are not in the lowest part of the crater, they are wrapped around the lower slopes of the hill.
Our current position is in the top right corner. Incidentally, we are about to move into the next map quadrangle, with a different source of names. We already crossed into it very briefly and then back into the Kimberley quad shortly before arriving at Kimberley.

I figured out how to get a higher-res topo map out of MATLAB, 4800x3600: topo4800.png
The days of easy riding may be getting short. -------------------- |
