Sols 4316-4317: Searching for Sulfur

.Getting through the rugged, harsh Martian surface is actually regularly a challenge, and also our recent try to get to the "Lambs Creek" aim at highlights this. Our experts had aimed for small, far-off bright rocks, but from 50 meters away (concerning 164 feet), the restricted settlement of our pictures made it challenging to adjust navigating. After a determined travel, the vagabond happened agonizingly close-- stopping merely except these tiny brilliant stones. The rocks, with their distinguishing pivoted and countered "weathering" pattern (imagined), definitely look like essential sulfur blocks out that we have actually come across before. Frustratingly, although the intended rocks corrected under the main wheel as well as clearly noticeable in our navigation video cameras, they stayed just out of grasp of the rover's arm.
