Opportunity has returned!

And there was much rejoicing.

Thanks to the combined efforts of beamjockey, billroper, tarkrai, and their various and assorted friends, our Lego Mars Rover has returned to her home, nearly three years after she began her journey from Arlington Heights to Chelsea. She arrived mostly intact (the few missing pieces were in the box with her), although she did have some company. There's a Kensington cabled laptop lock and a 3/4" diameter x 1/2" high speaker-ish thing (it's got two leads, when we put a AA battery between the leads, it whined). I don't recognise either of them.

I'm glad it made it. That was some of the most spectacularly slow Mongol mail I've ever seen...

I was clueless. I could have put her in a box the next day and mailed her! I didn't even realize she was missing all this time.

Thanks for loaning her to me. Glad her counterparts are still running on Mars.

I wouldn't have wanted her in the mail. She's rather fragile. We're happy she entertained some people on her trip.

She wasn't exactly "missing". We knew where she was, she just wasn't where she belonged.
