Sols 4316-4317: Seeking for Sulfur

.Browsing the rugged, harsh Martian surface is constantly a challenge, and our recent attempt to reach out to the "Sheep Spring" intended highlights this. We had actually aimed for little, remote brilliant rocks, but coming from 50 gauges away (about 164 feets), the limited resolution of our images made it hard to fine-tune navigating. After an eager ride, the wanderer happened uncomfortably close-- ceasing merely except these tiny bright stones. The stones, along with their distinguishing pivoted as well as countered "weathering" pattern (visualized), highly resemble elemental sulfur blocks out that our company have actually experienced prior to. Frustratingly, although the intended stones corrected under the frontal steering wheel and also clearly noticeable in our navigating electronic cameras, they stayed contemporary of grasp of the rover's arm.
