Sols 4316-4317: Searching for Sulfur

.Getting through the durable, severe Martian surface is actually constantly a challenge, and our latest try to connect with the "Lambs Creek" aim at highlights this. Our team had actually gone for little, distant vivid rocks, but coming from fifty meters away (concerning 164 feets), the minimal settlement of our images made it difficult to fine-tune navigating. After an ambitious drive, the vagabond came agonizingly close-- stopping simply except these little vivid stones. The stones, along with their distinctive pivoted and also matched "surviving" pattern (pictured), strongly look like essential sulfur obstructs that we have actually come across before. Frustratingly, although the aim at rocks were right under the front wheel and clearly visible in our navigation electronic cameras, they remained contemporary of reach of the rover's arm.
