Opportunity is exploring 'Murray Ridge,' part of the west rim of
Endeavour Crater.

On Sol 3617 (March 28, 2014), the rover continued further to the

sols of remote sensing over the weekend, Opportunity drove again on Sol
3621 (April 1, 2014), with a 144-foot (44-meter) drive that included
some mid-drive imaging of an exposed rock outcrop.

As of Sol 3621 (April 1, 2014), the solar array energy production was
661 watt-hours with an atmospheric opacity (Tau) of 0.433 and a solar
array dust factor of 0.868.

Total odometry is 24.15 miles (38.87 kilometers).
