NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity made its first U-Turn on Mars on Feb. 14, 2004, as the completing move of its longest one-day drive, about 9 meters or 30 feet. This view from the right front hazard-avoidance camera shows the scene in front of Opportunity after the turn, with the selected location for the mission's first trenching operation now directly in front of the rover. (Feb. 16, 12 pm PST)

Rather humorous that the tire tracks make a nice "14," in keeping with the Valentine's Day time stamp on the picture....

Ring!
Hallo, Bubba's wrecker service, Bubbette speaking?
Where?
Well it's usually a dollar a mile out side 285.
I can give you a bulk rate but it means using the mongo unit
at 50 cints a mile.
In a trench you said? Hmmmmm, use of winch extra.
No Air? Hmmmm bring air tanks extra.
Sure no problem, that'll be 365,000,000 dollars.
Oh, you've got AAA, why didn't you say so.
Then it's minimum $50 and thanks for using Bubbas.
Bubba! Git your sorry butt away from that playstation and Get in the truck, I got us'n a J O B!!!

What is that white stuff in the trench?Hmmm ... here in Tejas we call that white rock. Depending where you dig around here, it could be 3" or 3' below the surface ...

Some of the white rock we have is nothing more than loose white shale - it can break up pretty easily and really isn't hard 'rock' at all ...
