Well...that's nice...
 Looks like Oppy will take the Eastern road to meet my predicted path a little bit south. I like it. We are on our way. -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

Great map, as usual, but they always leave me a bit deflated... I look at the "zoomed in" track and think "Woo hoo! We're flying!" then I look at the bigger picture... "pfffffffffffffttttt"... balloon bursts... we're still MILES away...!
 Making great progress tho

Can't get a hand on the big picture. As we're closing to the 10 miles mark, I'm looking for the strait distance to Eagle at this stage. Anybody?

There's a nice "progress indicator" on the official route map: http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/tm-...l1857_1_br2.jpg We've already covered 16% of the estimated distance to Endeavour. |

It looks like we're getting close to some good pavement. Everyone get on their racing goggles and scarves, I think we're going to haul
 pretty soon!

There's some good terrain a few hundred meters ahead but the best one is still 2-3km away.
PS: James will recognise those background colors.
