Narrative:
We left the base through the airlock and took the rovers to drive north on Cow Dung Road 0110, up to North Ridge, looking for a nice place to take images and videos for the documentary. Looking at the landscape, we went past the North Ridge when the Main Hab contacted us to warn us we were passed the North Ridge. Then, we turned around and went back, parked at the junction with Galileo Road 1104, and asked for permission to drive slightly souther, between Gateway to Candor road and Pooh’s Corner. We got permission to stop the rovers at the junction with Gateway to Candor road. We parked the rovers there and walked a couple of hundred meters south. Once we reached this point, we stayed there for some time to take images and videos. Later we took the rovers again and continued driving south to the junction with the MDRS. We stopped there and continued taking some videos. Finally, we took the rovers and drove back to MDRS.
