This week the rover completed its close-up observations of "Larry's Outcrop" and drove back toward "Methuselah," looking for a passable way up to the summit. The rover will continue to drive around the perimeter of "Husband Hill" until it finds a good pathway.
Sol-by-sol summaries: Sols 497 and 498 (May 27 and 28, 2005): Spirit used tools on its robotic arm at west Larry's Outcrop and made remote-sensing observations.
