Sols 4316-4317: Hunting for Sulfur

.Browsing the ruggedized, severe Martian terrain is constantly a difficulty, as well as our current try to reach out to the "Lamb Creek" target highlights this. We had actually gone for small, remote vivid stones, yet from 50 meters away (regarding 164 feets), the limited settlement of our images made it hard to make improvements navigation. After an eager ride, the rover came uncomfortably close-- quiting just short of these little intense stones. The stones, along with their distinguishing pivoted and also pitted "weathering" design (visualized), strongly look like essential sulfur blocks that our company've encountered just before. Frustratingly, although the aim at rocks corrected under the frontal wheel and also plainly noticeable in our navigation electronic cameras, they remained just out of grasp of the rover's division.
