Sols 4316-4317: Hunting for Sulfur

.Getting through the rugged, severe Martian terrain is actually consistently a problem, as well as our recent try to reach the "Lambs Creek" target highlights this. Our company had aimed for small, distant vivid stones, yet coming from 50 gauges away (regarding 164 feets), the limited resolution of our pictures produced it challenging to tweak navigating. After an eager travel, the rover came uncomfortably close-- quiting just except these little intense rocks. The stones, along with their unique pivoted and also pitted "weathering" design (pictured), definitely appear like important sulfur blocks out that we have actually come across before. Frustratingly, although the intended rocks corrected under the main wheel as well as clearly obvious in our navigating cams, they remained just out of scope of the rover's arm.
