Sols 4316-4317: Hunting for Sulfur

.Navigating the ruggedized, severe Martian landscapes is always an obstacle, as well as our recent try to reach the "Lamb Spring" intended highlights this. Our experts had actually pursued small, remote vivid rocks, however from fifty meters away (about 164 feets), the restricted settlement of our photos made it hard to tweak navigating. After an ambitious ride, the wanderer happened uncomfortably close-- stopping only except these tiny brilliant rocks. The stones, with their distinguishing pivoted and matched "surviving" pattern (pictured), highly look like essential sulfur blocks out that we have actually experienced just before. Frustratingly, although the intended rocks were right under the front tire and accurately obvious in our navigating cams, they remained just out of scope of the rover's division.
