There are no rocks in that area, NASA needs to be careful
about quicksand. We don't need the rover getting caught in
a bed of mud/ water covered in sand. just my .02 cents

I was listening to a press conference a day or two ago via NASA TV online and they suggested that they might be able to roll only one wheel into "sleepy hollow" to see if it was solid enough to drive on or not. Also, if it turns out that the dark marks inside "sleepy hollow" are indeed bounce marks from the airbags, then it should be safe enough to drive on.

I do agree though, they should be careful. Nothing would be worse than to get that rover caught somewhere.

The temperature there is much too cold to have a bed of mud.

Way below zero.
