Spirit seems to be rolling out...

Details of what Spirit is up to can be found here:

The rover is being commanded during sol 36, which ends at 5:21 a.m. Monday, PST, to back away from Adirondack, drive past the south side of the now-empty lander, and begin a trek northeast toward a crater nicknamed "Bonneville."


Navigation Cam raw images here show the lander as the Rover moves away, and a crater that appears to be getting nearer.

More from the rear hazcam below. The rover appears to be moving in short fits--note how the tire impressions are clear and firm where the rover stops, but are less clear when the rover moves, as though how long the rover stays in one spot makes a difference in the packing of the dirt.
