these are new images from SOL 1887 . they are of the two center wheels that have taken a beating as compared to the four corner wheels. the suspension design apparently puts more load on the center wheels during certain maneuverers. I will say that NASA has done an excellent job minimizing any more damage since SOL 797. they must have changed their driving techniques & become more aware of the path the rover takes. after viewing SOL 1179 I didn't see how they could stay together very long.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel.   They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life.   I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at.  You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do!  I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them.  SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest.  I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
