 Hmmm. Extending that line takes us to "Allegheny Ridge". I thought we had to choose between that and Eldorado. From Allegheny, McCool Hill and Home Plate are in opposite directions. Does this mean we have more time than we thought before 'winter' or that there is no time for Home Plate?

To reach McCool Hill, Spirit has to take the route between Home Plate and Alleghenny Ridge.

Could be, IF the intention was to go direct to McCool Hill.
But afaik the near-term objective (sol 750?) is to reach and study Home Plate. Imho, this last drive SE was just a way to avoid going directly over the dunes. A left turn to reach harder ground. |

I gotta get me a new map!  Can somebody refer me to a thoroughly labelled orbiter view of Columbia Hills?

No name for that ridge/hill, because it was not visible from the Spirit landing site. http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/spotlight/s...umbia_Hills.jpg |

Ah, at last! Splendid! Now I know where we are.  And I'm to believe that whole massive bulk filling most of the background is without even an informal name? Shame! If JPL can't be bothered, we should at least come up with something. Let's make a list of suggestions.e.g. "YOGI" , because it looks like a big sleeping bear, and because, like Berra, it's behind Home Plate. O.K.?  no?  or maybe...Squyres Castle?...East Redoubt?...C'mon, help me out here. -------------------- My Grandpa goes to Mars every day and all I get are these lousy T-shirts!
