Update to sol 1581. Nearly time to look for a new base map.

Update and a few path corrections for the last few sols. We have a clear path to Ireson Hill now, if that is the plan.

Sol 1584, zig-zagging through the sandy patches, and now only 100 m from Ireson Hill.

We had s short drive, only 15 m or so, roughly south, to get to a tasty bit of rock. To the hill next time? We'll see.

Sol 1587, a drive to the south. Will we turn west and look at the hill?

It would appear from this smaller scale route map previously posted by centsworth: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/images/?ImageID=6584 that the most constricted part of the clear route between the dunes lies just souh of Ireson Hill. However the details of the gap are obscured by the thickness of the projected route line there. It will be interesting to see how that area looks on your large scale route map Phil.

This new section of my overview map set shows the path ahead.

Thanks for posting that: it's exactly what I was hoping to see. The way through the dunes is indeed quite narrow when you consider their extent on either side.

I'm not certain of the location for sol 1589, but this should be fairly close. The drive path is conjectural, made to avoid big rocks.

Here is an update to sol 1589. Curiosity is approaching the narrowest gaps yet through the dunes. It is not clear from Emily's 3D map in Post #784 which way is best. And it is all uphill, as the route has been for a while now.

A new basemap for the path through the last bits of dark sand. This includes a correction to the previous drive, where I chose the wrong location. It's not always easy to make a match with so many rocks around us.

A move to the southwest - maybe we will visit the hill now.

We did move closer to the hill again on sol 1596, so the Mastcam view will be pretty good.

Update to sol 1598, approaching the dune science site.
