Experimenting with panoramas. There are some great new sets that Oppy sent down recently. Since none of the pano-meisters have posted yet, here's a quick nav-cam pano from sol 3036. So cool to be in the creek!

I want to look over my shoulder for the bulldozer that carved this thing. The latest processes shaping it appear to post-date the original layering in the trench, development of the light-toned upper surface to either side, and formation of the rough terrain surrounding Cape York. Fascinating. |

Fascinating. Awesome pan, walfy! I'm assuming this feature is an expansion-related dip-slip fault? |

That's a beauty!!! I NEVER get tired of the odd ways these sulfate-rich rocks erode!

Opened a new thread to cover the trek by the east side. New pictures and discussion should be done there but everything related to Whim Creek should still be posted here.

It's not too late, I think.
