Sol 1793, a drive of about 22 m eastwards, well defined by the Hazcam images.

Update to sol 1794. I think Curiosity is close to turn south and take the final climb of VRR. Perhaps next week?

We had another drive on sol 1794, and I think this location should be accurate based on hazcams at the moment.

This is a preliminary update to sol 1795, based on a single Hazcam image. If it is seriously wrong I will replace the map later. EDIT: I did make a small change after the second Hazcam came in.

Sol 1796. I think I have the right place.

Zooming out for a wider view to place our location in context. For sol 1799, I am not very confident yet of the location.

Well, I was right to lack confidence in my last position. It is corrected here. But sol 1800 - that's right on target! Even the Hazcams give a good location. So near...

Another close-up map for the ascent. It looks to me like about a 10 to 12 m drive uphill on sol 1802. The names of features on the ridge will be relocated when I figure out where they are.

Update to 1802. Also corrected a bug in the Mars Clock (sol number display.)

Update to sol 1809. Seems there is still one last bit of climbing to do.

My sol 1809 map. Not at the highest point yet but well up on the ridge. If we go too much further south, even if higher, we will lose some of the view of the slope behind us. I really hope there will be a big Mastcam mosaic of the northward view while it is fully visible.

Sol 1812, a small move, probably to get to a good location for analysis before the next climb. This is estimated from Hazcams, where the rear view shows the motion clearly, but it might be an underestimate. As ever, it will be updated later.

A corrected and updated map for sol 1814. I'm making a new base for a map to fit in all the names.

Extra-zoomy map of our location on sol 1814. Don't get too hung up on the precision of the image rectification! It's controlled by a HiRISE image but not by a high resolution DEM.
