Default Spirit Final Resting Spot Guesses

Anyone feeling competitive? Just for the heck of it, and because it was
fun, I took a stab at guessing where Spirit has come to rest, based on the
landing ellipse as shown he

The DIMES images from the marsrover.jpl.nasa.gov site:

It's an unabashed WAG, with a little help from the above data. I can't
claim to have interpreted it exactly right, but I'll be interested to see
how close I got.

My guess is in this image he

It's a 650k .jpg image. The blue oval marks the spot where I am guessing
Spirit might have come to rest, although maybe it will end up being a little
farther north and/or a little farther downtrack. The blue oval is a couple 2
or three miles in length. The entire image is contained in Gusev crater.

Comments? Other guesses?

Jon
