Sols 4316-4317: Searching for Sulfur

.Browsing the ruggedized, unforgiving Martian surface is actually always a challenge, and also our recent effort to reach out to the "Lambs Spring" aim at highlights this. Our team had actually aimed for small, far-off brilliant rocks, yet coming from 50 gauges away (about 164 feet), the limited settlement of our pictures made it difficult to make improvements navigation. After an eager drive, the rover happened agonizingly close-- ceasing merely except these little vivid rocks. The rocks, with their distinguishing rounded and also pitted "enduring" pattern (visualized), definitely resemble important sulfur obstructs that our team've run into just before. Frustratingly, although the target rocks were right under the main tire and plainly visible in our navigation electronic cameras, they stayed just out of grasp of the vagabond's arm.
