Post-drive notes for this sol:
There was a subsequent short drive on sol 1767 (I will update this comment as soon as I've compiled the information), as Percy maneuvers into position for using its contact instruments - the bedrock below Percy's wheels looks mighty interesting, and we've been driving hard for weeks to reach this area. Stay tuned!
EDITED TO ADD: The rover drove a few metres west on 1767, then partly backtracked - I assume this means the science team knows what it wants to access. The image below, from 1767, offers another perspective on the interesting light-tan polygons that will likely be investigated closely in the next few sols:
