Hi,

Not ours -- theirs. The tracks of the Lunokhod 2
lunar rover have been found in photos taken by
NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO).
The Russian rover covered 35 kilometers (a record)
before dirt in its radiator made it overheat and die.

There's a photo of the tracks (and the full story) here:
