Sols 4316-4317: Hunting for Sulfur

.Getting through the rugged, unforgiving Martian landscapes is actually always a problem, as well as our recent effort to get to the "Sheep Spring" target highlights this. Our team had actually aimed for little, distant brilliant stones, yet coming from fifty gauges away (about 164 feet), the restricted settlement of our pictures created it tough to fine-tune navigation. After an ambitious ride, the rover happened uncomfortably close-- quiting merely short of these little vivid stones. The rocks, along with their distinct rounded and also pitted "enduring" pattern (visualized), highly appear like important sulfur blocks that we've run into just before. Frustratingly, although the aim at rocks corrected under the main steering wheel and also precisely noticeable in our navigation cameras, they continued to be just out of scope of the wanderer's arm.
