They did a little detour around the majority of that obstruction and ended up fairly close to your "straight line" prediction.

Thanks Paul!! This is great information. I eat this stuff up and I am happily exploring the new quadrant themes.

Where are we going in such a hurry. I'm sure breaking records for Martian land speed.
Also, Thanks for posting all this information and keeping us up to date, Thanks to Paul too! You both do a lot for this community and lurkers like me appreciate it!

What are the current quadrants naming conventions or terrestrial region? It's fun exploring the regions on line. There's a lot of history in these names.

Looks familiar and relevant to this conversation. Thank you all for the great feedback.. And those two, bouncing off each other the way they did, a great example of scientific deduction

Cleaning a patch of rock with a puff of compressed nitrogen (GDRT)
When this image first came down I thought it looked as if someone had taken a pencil and scribbled on the side of this large rock. This is a much more plausible explanation I think.

Time for a Selfie
I see the raw image of the week is a close up of that window. Was there any discussion about what they were looking for? Or is this just routine?

Is the one on the LH the regolith collector? It's been used just twice? And, are they still on the first coring bit?

All the end-of-drive NavCams from Sol 848 on IMGUR
I love Imgur and think its a great sight for images. So this is a great work around! Thank you for taking the time to do all this.

Raw Close-up of the abrasion on 'Ypsilon Lake' - Sol 850 - SHERLOC WATSON image. Its diameter is 5cm (2 inches)
They sure are giving this abrasion a very thorough look. What are they seeing in it? IANAGOAA (I am neither a geologist or an astrobiologist)

Perseverance has started to core the top of the 'Mount Meeker'

Basically they take a geological region from somewhere here on earth, such as Colorado or The Rocky Mountains, and take names from those regions.

SHERLOC - Sol 915 - 5cm diameter abrasion patch
What's up with the CacheCam images from sol 913? It appears to be a sealed sample?

Here’s what the Perseverance rover has learned so far (Catch up on the Mars 2020 mission in 2023.)
So they're going for another Three Forks style sample drop when they reach the rim? What are the pros and cons of that?
