I think it's time for a new topic. We are effectively at the entrance to Gediz Vallis now that we have climbed this last slope on sol 3871.
The previous topic described the Greenheugh Pediment. We made a valiant attempt (two valiant attempts really) to explore its surface. It was too rough for Curiosity's dainty wheels but its outer edge was examined in detail. But now there are new targets: a crater cluster, the Gediz Vallis Ridge whose upper part is accessible from this level, and the large valley and its central sinuous valley as well. I attached a picture seen at LPSC - I am embarrassed to say that I can't remember where it was from. Usually I have detailed notes of sources but this one slipped through. Maybe someone will recognize it and I can add a source. It gives the name of the butte at the western entrance to the valley, annotated onto the JPL map. Phil

Indeed quite the vista unfolding as Phil described. Here's a sequence of drives that topped the ridge by going through the area of the double alcove, using official mosaics between Sols 3860 and 3873.
Longer steppable drive animation with a combination of official and Jan's mosaics from Sol 3435 to the present. -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]

Been a while since we saw a wheel check (due to difficult terrain)
This is 1 of 20 wheel inspection MAHLI's acquired on Sol 3878.

This is the worst of the images, but a frightening amount of damage to the most damaged wheel. No wonder the rover planners have worked to avoid crossing any terrain with pointy rock surfaces. With three adjacent grouser bars Brocken or missing in the image, I wonder how close to failure this wheel is and how much more damage it can accumulate and still keep on trucking

Thanks Fred. I must have missed the 3492 image. It is reassuring that it is basically unchanged over that length of time.

This is Jan's sol 3890 panorama in circular form. As Nogal said in the map thread, the craters are hard to discern, but they would show up better with more oblique illumination.

Probably three major influences once water permanently dried up and deposition gave way to deflation. Significant thermal variation daily causing cracking, wind erosion and gravity. All acting over billions of years in a benign environment.

Latest drives are to the SE, here using official mosaics from Sols 3901 and 3904 with the best horizon coverage.
Longer steppable drive animation with a combination of official and Jan's mosaics from Sol 3435 to the present. -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]

Jan's panorama for sol 3912 in circular form. Now it looks like a straightforward drive to the base of the Gediz Vallis Ridge, only about 60 m away.

Latest drives are to the SSE, animated here using official mosaics between Sols 3904 and 3914. The route has been traversing the local slope somewhat with a gradual climb. A more direct steeper climb would be towards the closest part of the Gediz Vallis ridge seen rising above the SW horizon.
Longer steppable drive animation with a combination of official and Jan's mosaics from Sol 3435 to the present. -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]

Latest drive is to the SW, animated here using official mosaics from Sols 3914 and 3917. This is a more direct climb towards the closest part of the Gediz Vallis ridge seen rising above the SW horizon. One can see the gain in elevation relative to the layers at the base of Kukenan located to the east.

Jan's panorama for sol 3914 in circular form. Getting close to the ridge now, and a good view of the sandy valley just NE of the rover.
