Sols 4316-4317: Searching for Sulfur

.Browsing the durable, harsh Martian surface is actually regularly a difficulty, and also our latest effort to connect with the "Lambs Spring" target highlights this. Our team had tried for little, distant intense rocks, yet from fifty gauges away (concerning 164 feets), the limited resolution of our images created it complicated to tweak navigating. After an eager drive, the rover came uncomfortably close-- ceasing only short of these small vivid rocks. The stones, along with their unique pivoted as well as pitted "surviving" pattern (pictured), definitely look like elemental sulfur shuts out that our team've faced before. Frustratingly, although the target rocks corrected under the main wheel and also plainly obvious in our navigating cameras, they stayed contemporary of grasp of the wanderer's arm.
