Sols 4316-4317: Hunting for Sulfur

.Getting through the durable, demanding Martian terrain is actually constantly an obstacle, and also our latest attempt to reach the "Lambs Spring" aim at highlights this. We had actually tried for little, distant intense stones, yet coming from fifty gauges away (regarding 164 feets), the limited resolution of our photos made it difficult to adjust navigation. After an enthusiastic drive, the wanderer happened uncomfortably close-- ceasing just short of these tiny intense rocks. The rocks, along with their distinct rounded and matched "weathering" pattern (pictured), definitely are similar to elemental sulfur blocks that we have actually experienced before. Frustratingly, although the target stones corrected under the frontal wheel as well as precisely obvious in our navigating electronic cameras, they remained contemporary of reach of the vagabond's arm.
