Ok, time to take bets on whether the team heads East or West before turning back to the south.
From Sol 512: West: http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all...XKP0733L0M1.JPG East: http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all...XKP0634L0M1.JPG I say West, as the dunes appear to be a bit less formidable and the etched terrain can be reached more quickly by angling to the WSW; but the lighting from the sun may be fooling me on the apparent height of the dunes. I really think they need to be traveling close to due south, staying between dune lines, and not crossing perpendicular to any more dunes than they absolutely have to. |

Like the name, Doug... so of course I thought I'd have a crack at it too. This is from yours, not the original images, but I took a bit of curvature out of the horizon, turned it b/w and did a more extreme vertical stretch.
The general shape of the horizon can't be trusted here but the individual hills are real... except they are MUCH flatter in reality. But we can see there is some up-an-down inn the area, which explains why we don't really see Victoria or even Erebus properly. Phil
