Roughly on opposite sides of the planet. If you've got a rover that can drive halfway around Mars, there's a lot more interesting things to look at than that, I'm sure.

If Opportunity traveled as fast as it possibly could it would take a century to reach Spirit, though the chances of it lasting that long are low.
