Soon worries about drifts and dunes will be ancient memories.

I'm pretty sure they're now closer to Endeavour than they've ever been before. The sol 1927 record is broken!

I can see that speed limit. Driving on meridiani planum is difficult, so maybe some signs may help our brave rover drives. -------------------- Need more input ...

...maybe some signs may help... That's a great idea. Pardon me, but I just had to add one more important warning. -------------------- ...Tom

From here the view of the jpeg artifacts is among the best in the Solar System.

I think we are all seeing the effects of a missing daily fix of pictures.

Some interesting stuff from http://twitter.com/marsroverdriver
"Driving went uncommonly smoothly today. That usually means I made a huge mistake somewhere." "Tomorrow we do a nifty experiment that effectively uses Opportunity's mobility system as a soil-property sensor." "Nothing particularly nearby... so I think stops will be less frequent for a while." "Since we're hopping ripples (part of experiment), we check slip 2x as often in this drive. If we get stuck, it won't be bad. " -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)

Oh my God. They're letting Maxwell use her as a dune buggy!!!
-------------------- 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.
