Sols 4316-4317: Hunting for Sulfur

.Getting through the ruggedized, unforgiving Martian landscapes is actually always a problem, as well as our recent effort to reach out to the "Sheep Spring" target highlights this. We had tried for little, far-off bright rocks, yet coming from 50 meters away (regarding 164 feet), the limited resolution of our photos created it challenging to adjust navigating. After an enthusiastic drive, the rover happened uncomfortably close-- quiting just short of these small brilliant stones. The rocks, with their distinctive rounded as well as matched "surviving" pattern (envisioned), firmly appear like important sulfur shuts out that our team have actually run into before. Frustratingly, although the target rocks corrected under the front tire as well as plainly apparent in our navigating cameras, they stayed contemporary of scope of the wanderer's arm.
