Sols 4316-4317: Looking for Sulfur

.Browsing the durable, harsh Martian terrain is actually consistently a difficulty, and our latest effort to reach the "Lambs Spring" intended highlights this. Our experts had actually gone for small, distant bright rocks, but coming from 50 gauges away (regarding 164 feets), the limited settlement of our images made it tough to make improvements navigating. After an eager drive, the rover happened agonizingly close-- ceasing simply except these little vivid rocks. The rocks, along with their distinct rounded as well as matched "weathering" design (envisioned), highly resemble essential sulfur blocks that our team've faced just before. Frustratingly, although the target rocks were right under the main steering wheel and also precisely visible in our navigation cams, they continued to be just out of grasp of the rover's arm.
