We didn't stay at yesterday's location for two sols, my mistake - so here is an update for sol 4589. A drive of just 7 m directly uphill (west).

ONWARD!!!
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

It looks from the map that Oppy is actually going backwards.
Anyone know if this is slippage or an intentional reversal (i.e. to look at the trench)? It is almost midnight of 4604 in Meridiani. I am hoping that Oppy is making more progress uphill. |

The latest PS update says that the 4591 bump was "to check out the rock [Beacon?] and other nearby targets" - no mention of slippage. Given the timing with the holidays I'd guess the trench was intentional, to provide a target for study.
Edit: this weekly update says that there was an embedding on 4589. Seems they're interested in the bright soil revealed. |

Trench or no trench, off we go again. A jog to the northeast to get onto solid ground, a rocky outcrop - leading to a drive on as much rock as possible (I am assuming) around the northern side of Beacon Rock.

A nice holiday drive for Opportunity, a bit further up the ridge. I think the rover is now at the steepest part of the slope, and getting past this spot might be tricky.

Sol 4618 - no, it wasn't tricky for our sure-footed mountain goat of a rover. Now it should be fairly easy progress into the top of Willamette Valley.
I'm not sure I have the name John Ellison in the right place, or even if 'Hole' should be considered a name. Any advice welcome! Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Sol 4622, another 10 m drive and it looks like a clear road ahead to the top of Willamette Valley.

Our intrepid teenager just galloped another 26 m up the slope. Here's an update - the position is only a guess based on reported distance as I don't have the images yet.
