Places I'd like to go

If the rover is good for a couple of miles of travel, then all of these places are in reach:

At the top: if this were on Earth, it would be a salt pan. So what the hell is it on Mars?

In the middle: Looks like a shoreline. Or something. Getting up close and looking at the distribution of particle sizes should mke it real easy to tell.

On the bottom: Large, deep crater; bright, unweathered ejecta; dark dunes at the bottom -- what's not to love?

Of course, these are only the most interesting areas, out of hundreds that I can see, and probably an infinite number of smaller things that I can't see.

Exciting days ahead!

Cheers,

Nathan.
