Now that we know where we are going, I thought we could use a topic about our future route. I hope that a few images will get the rover rolling - downhill.
 READY START BACKGROUND ------ From Steve Squyres Misson Update Octoberber 4, 2005 Extending eastward from the summit of Husband Hill is a broad ridge that we've named Haskin Ridge. It trends ENE from the summit, does a little dog-leg to the right, and then trends ESE for a bit. Right at the dog-leg there's a pretty steep step, which we're not certain we can get down. So we're going to descend the upper portion of the ridge, right to where the step is, and assess the situation. If we can see a safe route, then we'll continue down onto the lower portion of Haskin Ridge. ------ My Image of Haskin Ridge I tried to get the best image of Haskin ridge that was available, and this is a crop from a true color TIFF summit panorama, located on the the Cornell Pancam web site. I converted the tif file to a gif file to save some download time.  Warning : File Size : 1.7 MB  Cornell True Color Pan of Haskin Ridge Reference WEB page of Husband Hill Summit Panorama Warning: File Size : 80 MB !!!! Preliminary Spirit Pancam of "Husband Hill Summit" Panorama Jack PS If you can't see the "steep step" that Squyres mentions - try this orbital image. I believe that the "steep step" is the dark shadow cutting across the ridge that is located directly under the word CRATER. I think that it is also visible in the true color pancam image, but it is less obvious. Orbital View of Husband Hill and Basin |

Note the vertical scale is exagerated x2, but that slope still looks challenging, and I doubt it's going to be paved like Karatape! James -------------------- |
