I'm thrilled that Oppy's out of the dune, and I'll admit that I have not scoured and computer processed the raw pictures like good forum members should, but I think I still raise a good question: Do any of you have any ideas as to how on Earth (or Mars, rather) Oppy will be able to get to Erebus or Victoria given that it looks like the terrain leading up to these astrogeological treasure troves is the same as what got Oppy stuck in the first place? Does it sound viable to drive around the culprit dune staying in the valleys inbetween to get there? It seems this would be a majorly long and inefficeint switch-back driving method, but honestly, is there any other foreseeable way?
