Mars Mission Day Six

Returning late after an EVA

It was a long day today and I think all of the eighteen hour days of the past week has finally caught up with me. So I am going to sleep early tonight (before midnight). Today's blog post will be mostly pictures.

I went on a geology specimen collecting EVA with Steve and Paul to an area known as "Bob's Rock Garden" and "Striped Dragon".
