The source is the Mars rover website. Pathfinder was another, earlier mission that you are confusing with the present rovers.

The rover at Gusev crater is Spirit, not Pathfinder. Jim Bell's book "Postcards from Mars" gives excellent descriptions of the two rover landing sites and subsequent exploration.
