#Perseverance zoomed in on what appears to be the path forward on its way to Bright Angel. That area at the center where slope increases is approximately where the rover will enter the field-of-view of #Ingenuity's RTE camera, about 150m W from its current location.

#Perseverance is on the move again, and this time it's made its plan unambiguous: onward to Bright Angel!
Here starts a torturous trek down the ancient Neretva riverbank, to be followed by a crossing of the sandy and flat(ter) riverbed, and finally the arrival at Bright Angel, maybe by late summer.
#Ingenuity is visible, and will be so all the way down to the riverbed.
Those light colored rock layers in the background are called Bright Angel, and that's where #Perseverance's team have long planned to go to take measurements and samples.

This image shows the actual inclination of the ground at RMC 52.0130, the current location of #Perseverance on Sol 1131, and, maybe, why the trip to Bright Angel down the ancient riverbank and into the sandy Neretva riverbed might be risky.

Which way to go?
White route leads to Bright Angel.
Green route leads inland and eventually upward toward the cater rim. The photo shows the (guessed) start of the green route.
The western face of the ripple where #Ingenuity landed in its final flight 72 looked very steep in the other images, and indeed, the rover was tilted 10.9° when it captured these images. So, here is one corrected to horizontal, also showing markings relative to #TheMarsHelicopter..

I believe we can now reconstruct the last moments of #Ingenuity's #Flight72 with some certainty. The actual trajectory may be a little more complicated, e.g. turning while hopping, but we'll never know.
EDIT: there is a new theory about Flight 71, see comments.

New site number 52 for #Perseverance on Sol 1129, but apparently at the same location. The rover appears to be stuck in a sand field, although that may not be the reason for its recent inactivity.
