Sols 4316-4317: Hunting for Sulfur

.Getting through the durable, unforgiving Martian landscapes is actually always an obstacle, and our latest effort to reach the "Lambs Spring" intended highlights this. We had tried for little, remote brilliant rocks, yet from 50 gauges away (about 164 feet), the restricted settlement of our pictures created it challenging to adjust navigation. After an ambitious drive, the rover happened uncomfortably close-- stopping merely except these small bright rocks. The stones, with their unique pivoted and also matched "weathering" pattern (visualized), firmly appear like elemental sulfur blocks out that our experts have actually come across just before. Frustratingly, although the target rocks corrected under the main steering wheel as well as plainly noticeable in our navigating cams, they stayed contemporary of scope of the rover's arm.
