I'd rather Spirit and Opportunity stayed over there. Gusev and Meridiani are home for them. They should stay there, wherever they stop working, and then people should be able to, a hundred years from now, visit them and wonder at the little rovers that taught us so much.

The wheel tracks will be long gone, but in my minds eye - I've often walked along Spirits route, looking at old rat holes, scraping out the dust with a gloved finger, and sat upon the rim of Endurance crater.
