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

Hey Paul, do you have a source for this map, one I can contact. I would love to buy one to frame and hang on my wall. That's a very sharp design. Thanks.

I feel a little out of touch, thank you for the detail. Paul, your posts are always appreciated.

What's up with Supercam? They're taking a lot of pictures of it. Maybe just another visual review?

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.

Even if he doesn't mind sharing I would still like to support his work. I do have a Mastodon account. As always you're very helpful and I appreciate that you took the time to contact him on my behalf.

Latest drive (sol 1688) - 3 h 50 min, 300 m
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!

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

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

Hey Paul, I really appreciate your detailed responses. Now when I sort threw the raw images I know what they are for!!!! This makes it fun as I can now stop and try to determine how far off the rover is. Looks like it was fairly close on 1942 and 1944 if I'm reading them right, a little high?

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.

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?
