On sol 513 nearby Methuselah Spirit looks westward at his planned new path: http://www.greuti.ch/spirit/spirit_navcam_sol513b.jpg

On sol 514 he left so the well known place finally (I guess):
rear http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/re...00P1312R0M1.JPG and
forward http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/fo...00P1212R0M1.JPG

And shyly he takes a look round the corner: http://www.greuti.ch/spirit/spirit_pancam_sol514.jpg

At the moment the ground looks very good, firm and road-like. It seems this area is blown free unlike the north side of Husband Hill's higher part. Could we conclude on it that the main direction of wind is south to north and maybe southwest to northeast in this part of Gusev? That means the side of Spirit's ~ sol 445 slippage and in Tennessee Valley generally deposits more sand, doesn't it.

Would that associate with the dust devils main direction?
