Sols 4316-4317: Seeking for Sulfur

.Getting through the ruggedized, harsh Martian surface is constantly an obstacle, as well as our recent effort to connect with the "Sheep Spring" aim at highlights this. We had actually aimed for small, remote brilliant stones, yet coming from fifty meters away (concerning 164 feets), the limited settlement of our pictures produced it difficult to fine-tune navigation. After an enthusiastic travel, the wanderer happened uncomfortably close-- stopping just short of these little brilliant rocks. The stones, along with their unique pivoted as well as pitted "surviving" pattern (pictured), firmly appear like important sulfur blocks that our experts have actually come across before. Frustratingly, although the aim at rocks were right under the front steering wheel and precisely obvious in our navigating electronic cameras, they continued to be just out of range of the rover's arm.
