1F503894981EFFCOTZP1110R0M1Sol 4232, December 20, 2015. The rover is parked on a steep slope at an outcrop dubbed Pvt. John Potts. Below is the Microscopic Imager’s four-frame composite view of the target area (click to enlarge); at right the front Hazcam view (contrast adjusted).

Rover drivers are finding that the steep slope and loose ground in this part of Marathon Valley lead to drives that may go only half the distance intended due to wheel slippage.
