From an article in the "Cornell Daily Sun" newspaper:

"Spirit will now take pictures of the surrounding landscape to look for other craters or peaks before moving on in early autumn."

"Early autumn..." That's more than a month from now

It looks like Spirit will indeed be making camp atop Husband Hill for a few weeks:

"Spirit will spend several weeks at the summit to measure how much the Sun's rays heat the slopes of distant hills, and how this drives Mars's windy weather. "We're at this hilltop observatory now, so we can make some unique measurements," Arvidson explains.
The rover is getting in position to take a full colour, 360° panorama photograph on 25 August, which should pick out other peaks in the Columbia Hills, along with the valleys and plains on either side."

(Ray Arvidson is a geologist from Washington University in St Louis, Missouri, and second-in-command of the rover science team.)

I hope they take a super-res set as well as a regular pan. With full color data mixed with a super-res pan in one band, we could have something that will not be beaten for quite a long time.
