Spirit is now almost at the bottom of Inner Basin.

Time to start a new topic.

Here is a 360 degree panoramic view taken with the L0 navcam on Sol 667.

Great mosaics, jvandriel.
I'm disappointed by the low rocks density, except from amazing small boulders on these small hills blink.gif I imagine is a wind product...

Here is jvandriel's new pan in a polar version. The descent is certainly a lot faster than the ascent...

Dilo, yes, that zone is coverd by sands and dust. Between stones or rocks looks well covered. Now I see more or less orderly the direction of most stones that goes from the top of East to down on West side along the terraces. From the rover to Home Plate there are many terraces. These might be stratified land caused probably by the *uphil* land caused by the impact of some meteoro on somewhat soft land (volcanic land). Another possibility is these terraces are marked by the *water erosion* when it was dried out.

So here we see homeplate, with the pitchers mound behind? The two outcrops in the foreground look suprisingly different.

Looks like there might be a few dunes to avoid on the way to homeplate.

I think we said the same thing about Oppy right before the steering actuator failure.

Later Spirit will have to look for ways to climb up again to reach Home Plate.

The leftmost panorama portion strongly recalls the memorable "selfportrait" picture, so I decided to project it in a different way:

I suspect some of you may have spotted these - but they *are* nice!
