We have started the long traverse to the base of Mt. Sharp (Aeolis Mons), the long-term goal of the mission! It may take a year to get there, depending on how many interesting features we find along the way. The challenge for the science team will be to identify the most important targets along the way, and to study them without delaying drive progress too much. Today we are planning targeted observations, followed by another drive over the weekend.

Here we go then! Mountain bound! Looks like a new thread may be in order, too.

Onward! Looks like it's all new digs from here then. Here are post-drive Sol331 front and rear Hazcam Anaglyphs...

...and thanks as always Phil for the ongoing route map updates. Having the scale bar (
as suggested by charborob) is a really nice addition.
