Default Mars rover Spirit at summit

There was a post here about seeing nothing but rocks from the rovers
for a long while now. Well, a bit of space history in the making --
reaching the first summit on another planet. Spirit is near or at the
top of Husband Hill. Yeah, there are more rocks. But also a *wow*
view, with a *big* dust devil caught in the picture. Link in one of
the unmannedspaceflight forums shows a stitched panorama from the
navigation cameras. Enjoy.
