Lookg at the Swampcat images... http://img167.echo.cx/img167/9936/op43x013564ln.jpg So maybe the "etched terrain" that Opportunity is wandering into will be mostly flat patches of exposed bedrock interspersed with soil. Maybe no deep eroded gullies? Just rolling windblown ripples in the soil? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature" align="center">- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - </div><div class="Discussion_UserSignature" align="center">I really, really, really miss the "first unread post" function. </div> </div>

It may depend on how far in the rover goes. Beneath the sand the top of the bedrock is probably relatively flat and quite smooth, because of the abrasive action of the coarse haematite particles being moved by the wind. The edges of the granule lag will be quite irregular and patchy and probably highly mobile over time. So the underlying bedrock where exposed is also likely to be quite flat and smooth. However further away, assuming the area has never been buried and eroded, the exposures might be quite rocky.

Its good to take some time off and come back to find someone doing an excellent job of keeping this thread updated to the latest rover images. 2P165682393EFFAL2M1.5 <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> Ron Bennett </div>

Part of Spirit's new target, the front of Methuselah, in L257 false color. There 's a sand trap in front of it, as Squyres said. <img src="/images/icons/shocked.gif" /> original <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> I feel better than James Brown. </div>

Sorry for not having posted any images lately, but my job has kept me busy for the past couple of weeks. I had a little time today and thought I'd post just a few.
