On the way to El Dorado (6) - Sol 704

Original caption:"On sol 703, Microscopic Images were taken of a fin-shaped feature on Comanche.

Sol 704 and 705: Sol 704's activities wrapped up the work on Comanche. Spirit drove toward El Dorado on both Soles 704 and 705 as part of a 3-Sol plan starting on Sol 703. The first driving Sol began with 22 mt (about 72 feet) of directed driving followed by autonomous navigation toward the dune fields. The second driving Sol would not have the benefit of humans in the loop, and so was purely autonomous navigation, picking up on the heels of the previous Sol to get Spirit within striking range of El Dorado. The Team expected to get perhaps 80 to 90 mt (about 263 to 295 feet) from the 2 Soles of driving. However, by the end of Sol 705, Spirit had driven 118 mt (about 387 feet), and was about a 1-Sol drive away from El Dorado".
