Opportunity remaining in trouble?

Opportunity is finally free from it's dune to roll on once again!
At least, that's what I thought untill I found this picture:

It looks like they tried to move the rover over the next dune but it allmost got stuck again, so they had to back up.
This would be a bad thing...

Oppy is going to be moving much more slowly, at least unil it leaves the current region. I'm not surprised that they have already tested the sands, as it were, to determine a safe route.

I hope they will find a safe way out of there and still manage to plot a route to that large crater they were en route to. I was quite curious for the view and deeper bedrock to be seen there.

From what I understand, Victoria Crater remains the next major destination.
