"Opportunity has been in the "etched terrain" for the past several weeks at least. "

It's a fluffy date to pick, but I'd say Sol 580 - some 122 sols ago (i.e. August )

I'm not one for posting lots and lots of news in a forum - I figure that if someone wants to know what a particular mission is up to, they'll be checking the appropriate site for it anyway - it's only if something truely spectacular or tragic happens that would interest those not generally following a mission that I would post a bit of news here.
