Fantastic news for Spirit!!
These machines keeps amazing me! Instead of aging they are perfoming better and better

Now just awoid those sand traps and let's get to the top of the hill before christmas

Pando, getting closer but now Spirit is driving across across the minicrater on 326 instead of above it. I looked at the navcams and hazcams of it tracks, Spirit came nowhere near it.

It did drive over a smudge on 325, you can see it in one of the navcams from 326 taken before the drive, check the time stamp.

If you move its position on 326 halfway between the 9 in 329 and the S in Sol 326 everything in this navcam will fit.

Backtrack from there to the ridge. I'd link to an image but imagehost is down at the moment.

I found some images from Thanksgiving that were transmitted late while I was checking Pando's path that didn't fit my old position for 317. Adjusted it to fit, thanks Pando.

Pando, here's an image of the position for 325 in the rover track you posted yesterday taken on sol 326. I don't see any tracks running across it.

Pancam from 319 showing JPL's location for that sol, follow a line from bright linear feature past large round rock to cluster of small dark rocks which JPL's picture has them sitting on.

Pancam from 315, I pointed out some dark streaks brought out by the filter they used.



Navcam from 313 showing sand dune to the SE with dark line running across it.

Here they are in an image from 131, the streaks show up light instead of dark with the filters used.



In this image from 149 the sand dune is behind the slope



The position in 313 is also behind it.

Did you see this image Alan? not sure if it's been posted already. Gives some idea of the course they intenf to take up Husband Hill.

Yes I've seen it. I think they have their positions too far up the hill, in the last few posts I've been picking it apart. It's not the best image for showing the planned route. This one shows it better, at least its what I think they are trying to show.

[alan]

This should be the last one of these. Overhead view of West Spur, note the shadow along the east edge of the ridge.



The overhead view with the route JPL has posted notice that they have it leaving along the east side.



Spirit followed the ridge all the way to the end then left on the north side as these images show.

I'll post my estimate of its location in Alan is Lost becouse some people will be sure that I am when they see it.

New Spirit route map from JPL

The Spirit path... as seen from orbit!

Cool!

An updated Route Map by JPL was just posted.

A larger version in this link here.

According to that map Larry's Lookout is 30 meters behind Spirit

I think the specific location of LLO essentially got moved to wherever they could sit for 10 days doing IDD work whilst doing a 360 Pancam mosaic of the surroundings
