There's a valley between (6) and BVV starting at 61.14, -58.95 and heading towards BVV.
Not sure how blue it is at the moment as it's in darkness.
I'll sit here until it gets light.
Thanks. I'm not modest, I'm just... perfectionist. I'm ashamed of anything not ideal.
AkenBosh sent me his source material, so I was able to add SRVs on his work.
I was waiting to get some feedback on the changes from him, but I'll post newer version here, since new thread showed up and it needs it.
Small version (transparent background PNG):
and medium version
We can produce image twice that size if needed, although for the thread one of those should be enough

I doubt if any Commander will have problem if a POI is not added to the route if it too much off the path. Was fun naming a few POIs and maybe someone will visit a few if they ever read this file in the future.
At 1800 plus kilometers this journey may already be longer than some commanders like. if as a group we manage 60 K a day then it will take 30 days to complete. Like you mentioned until we get a few days into this expedition and see some numbers it is all guess work until then.
Your doing a great job and one or two small speeches for our fearless leader should not be too much ask ,,,,, lol

Same, sadly for me most of the time the ideas I have in mind are frustrated by the inability to put them on paper, so "ashamed" is my default state. You just saved me with those tiny cute rovers!
Sorry I was at work, followed everything but couldn't reply to anything. Thank you very much for fixing that "L", this thing keeps getting better and better!
Beautiful ... I was there the other night but was hit by an eclipse. I thought this might be there ... I'll add to the map later.
Yay, I didn't like to mention the 'L' ... I <3 perfectionists!

I was born in a time (and a country) when this kind of things weren't looked upon in the slightest, not to mention diagnosed, luckily for me I suffer from very mild symptoms to the point that "perfectionism" is usually more an advantage than a hindrance. Still going totally ape with random unbearable stuff from time to time though. Back to the subject at hand, that part of my brain keeps screaming at me that everything about that image is hideously ill-sorted, but acquired self-control reassures me that actually it's probably just fine for the most part.
Actually, I consider the texts still temporary, if anyone has any idea for some better wording or things to add/change, do let me (us) know!
More scouting ...

Blue Vein Valley and what it opens up into is pretty spectacular.
We'll just have to go from (6) to Blue Cliff Valley and then onto Blue Vein Valley, they're practically in a line anyway.

It's pretty good isn't it. After scouting those other locations I drove most of BVV this morning to remind myself if it's worth the detour. It is.
Video coming later.

I'm also flying and getting pictures for the journey between BVV and the North Pole, and that route has some good views.
Blue Vein Valley video ...
(don't watch if you want to keep the location as a surprise)

Edit: I've superseded this with a new route through the blue valley to the right:

I flew from the Blue Vein Valley to the North Pole noting all the interesting places along the way.
Co-ordinates are in the spreadsheet but it's more or less a straight line.
Next stop - the North Pole!

This morning I drove through the canyons that lead North, halfway between Grim Face Crater and The Termite Mound and created another waypoint at the end of this challenging little canyon complex.
The Corona Basin

I'm at (14) at the moment waiting for some light. I'll then fly/drive south to TCI to check that part out.
I need to get some Iron and Zinc along the way.
