February 6^th 1999

The day started off with the Team going out to the landing site for the first time.  
They took their vehicles and the Rover out about a quarter of a mile out into the desert 
from where the RV was.  They did numurous tests with the rover.  I left earl during the 
day so I didn't get to see what else they did.  I am sure they were out there for most of 
the day even though they are only supposed to work for half a day.  They are really 
dedicated to their work.  If it is not working and it is time to go home they still keep on plugging away to get it working.  I think that is one big reason why this testing event will 
be so successful.  For that fact and also the scientists know what they are doing, and they 
do a good job of doing it.  Sunday is our day off and I am heading back to the bay area today 
to pick up some things and visit some family and friends.  I will be returning Sunday night.

I hear that some of the team is thinking about going to the big city again and some are thinking of doing some site seeing in the area.  I am sure they will have fun whatever 
they end up doing.  That is all for now.  Until Monday this is Seth Carter saying goodbye.
