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

I don't see evidence for that. It's more that i see accumulation of fines on the leeside of the rocks, which makes me think that the pebbles did not move for a long time.
