Not even close to 600 - 800 meters

The distance Spirit is from that crater now is about 250 meters, thus the distance to the heatshield trench looks like only another 100-150 meters beyond that. Even if Spirit took a long way about it I doubt it would be more than 200 meters. That distance is not a show stopper.
