Sols 4255-4256: Only Travelling through

.Discovering ourselves less than a gauge coming from our hopeful end-of-drive on Monday, we began on a quite knowledgeable planning: Starting along with an upper arm backbone for removing dust and also utilizing APXS to look into a base aim at called "Russell Successfully pass," placing the upper arm out of the way for image resolution, investing merely over a hr on Mastcam imaging and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then another upper arm basis for MAHLI images of Russell Pass, and also eventually a travel in the afternoon. These strategies, referred to as "touch-and-go" plannings, are actually usually occupied at the start and slow in the end. Our ride this moment is actually organized to go ~ 10 meters just about wonderfully eastern and also leaving our heading almost wonderfully west. If on Friday, our wheels are solidly on the Martian ground and there is a flat-enough base area to put our practice, our team could be sitting tight for another two weeks while we attempt and gather another Gediz Vallis channel example. As well as since our team steer in reverse along with the arm occupying the rear end, our team could even have a work area our team've already steered over - hopefully subjecting some inner base even just before drilling.
