Sols 4316-4317: Searching for Sulfur

.Getting through the ruggedized, unforgiving Martian surface is actually regularly a difficulty, and also our current attempt to reach out to the "Lambs Creek" target highlights this. Our company had actually gone for small, distant intense rocks, however from fifty gauges away (about 164 feet), the limited settlement of our images created it hard to fine-tune navigating. After an ambitious drive, the rover came uncomfortably close-- quiting simply short of these tiny vivid rocks. The rocks, with their distinguishing pivoted and pitted "surviving" pattern (visualized), definitely resemble essential sulfur blocks out that our experts've faced before. Frustratingly, although the target rocks corrected under the front wheel as well as accurately apparent in our navigation cams, they remained just out of reach of the vagabond's arm.
