Sols 4316-4317: Hunting for Sulfur

.Getting through the rugged, harsh Martian surface is always an obstacle, and our latest try to connect with the "Lambs Creek" aim at highlights this. Our company had pursued small, remote intense rocks, yet from 50 meters away (concerning 164 feets), the restricted settlement of our pictures created it challenging to make improvements navigating. After a determined travel, the vagabond came uncomfortably close-- ceasing just short of these little bright rocks. The rocks, along with their unique rounded and also pitted "weathering" pattern (envisioned), firmly appear like essential sulfur blocks out that we have actually encountered just before. Frustratingly, although the intended stones were right under the front steering wheel as well as plainly apparent in our navigating electronic cameras, they remained just out of reach of the rover's division.
