Sols 4316-4317: Searching for Sulfur

.Getting through the durable, harsh Martian landscapes is regularly a challenge, and also our latest try to connect with the "Sheep Creek" aim at highlights this. Our team had actually tried for small, distant intense stones, but coming from fifty gauges away (about 164 feets), the restricted settlement of our pictures produced it hard to make improvements navigating. After an ambitious drive, the rover happened agonizingly close-- stopping just short of these little bright rocks. The stones, along with their distinctive pivoted as well as pitted "enduring" design (visualized), strongly look like essential sulfur obstructs that our experts have actually faced prior to. Frustratingly, although the intended stones corrected under the frontal wheel and clearly visible in our navigation electronic cameras, they stayed contemporary of reach of the vagabond's arm.
