Sols 4316-4317: Searching for Sulfur

.Browsing the ruggedized, severe Martian terrain is actually regularly a problem, and also our recent effort to reach the "Lambs Creek" target highlights this. Our team had actually pursued tiny, far-off intense stones, however coming from 50 gauges away (about 164 feets), the limited settlement of our images created it tough to adjust navigating. After an enthusiastic drive, the rover came agonizingly close-- ceasing only short of these small bright stones. The rocks, with their distinguishing rounded and also pitted "weathering" design (imagined), firmly appear like important sulfur blocks that we've run into before. Frustratingly, although the aim at stones corrected under the main wheel and plainly visible in our navigation cameras, they remained contemporary of grasp of the wanderer's division.
