Sols 4316-4317: Looking for Sulfur

.Navigating the durable, harsh Martian surface is actually consistently a challenge, and our current attempt to get to the "Lamb Spring" aim at highlights this. We had actually tried for little, remote brilliant rocks, but coming from fifty gauges away (regarding 164 feet), the minimal resolution of our pictures created it tough to fine-tune navigating. After an ambitious ride, the wanderer happened agonizingly close-- quiting simply except these tiny bright rocks. The stones, along with their distinguishing rounded as well as matched "surviving" design (visualized), highly appear like essential sulfur blocks that we've encountered before. Frustratingly, although the aim at stones were right under the frontal wheel and also precisely visible in our navigating electronic cameras, they remained just out of range of the wanderer's arm.
