Centsworth...
I agree, if you are exploring a 3 billion year old stream-bed on a dusty planet, and you don't have a shovel (other than your front wheels ) , look for a small impact crater -------------------- CLA CLL

Crumpler's latest brief 7/7/17 post sports an updated geological map, small print readable in the full size source image.
I was hoping someone here fared better than I with the long-baseline station images as noted on Phil's map... efforts hunting for pics through sols 4730-33 and 4736-45 ended in horrendous ICE stitches finally succumbing to depend on singular navcams from sols 4730 x 4736 yielding results conveying less than ugh... Perhaps the small crater wasn't of significant interest, other than charming dust bowl portrait.. |

...Perhaps the small crater wasn't of significant interest, ... There was some interest but we had to park the vehicle with the solar deck facing North before Conjunction. Unfortunately we have very few rover drivers left on the project which limits the number of planning days for drives. After the Sol 4782 drive we had only *one* planning cycle left as margin. I thought it was cutting too close to stop at the small impact crater.
