Hey all,

Post #1 after many months of lurking.

I agree that Bonneville looks a little bland, but do I see a little outcropping of bedrock somewhat to the left (south) of the heatshield on the big pan and about halfway down the slope?  Could be just random boulders I guess, but it looks a bit like tilted bedding.  Not sure if Spirit could reach this, the slope looks pretty steep.  Having said that, ingress looks pretty easy down the slope on the right (east side) of the crater.

And its nice to get a bit of height too, the hills look lovely.  Any idea of how much altitude the rover has gained?  10m? 

Phil
