Sols 4316-4317: Searching for Sulfur

.Browsing the rugged, harsh Martian terrain is actually always an obstacle, and also our current attempt to reach out to the "Lambs Spring" target highlights this. Our experts had actually aimed for small, remote intense stones, however from fifty meters away (regarding 164 feets), the minimal resolution of our photos produced it hard to make improvements navigating. After an eager drive, the rover happened agonizingly close-- stopping simply except these small vivid stones. The rocks, with their unique pivoted as well as pitted "enduring" pattern (visualized), highly are similar to important sulfur blocks that our company've run into prior to. Frustratingly, although the target stones were right under the front tire as well as clearly visible in our navigation cameras, they continued to be just out of range of the vagabond's arm.
