Sols 4316-4317: Looking for Sulfur

.Navigating the ruggedized, demanding Martian landscapes is regularly a problem, as well as our recent try to reach out to the "Lambs Spring" intended highlights this. We had tried for little, far-off vivid rocks, yet from fifty gauges away (regarding 164 feet), the limited resolution of our images produced it hard to fine-tune navigation. After an ambitious travel, the rover came agonizingly close-- ceasing simply short of these tiny brilliant stones. The stones, with their distinct pivoted as well as countered "surviving" pattern (pictured), strongly resemble essential sulfur blocks that our experts have actually come across prior to. Frustratingly, although the intended rocks corrected under the frontal wheel as well as plainly visible in our navigating video cameras, they remained just out of reach of the rover's division.
