Sols 4316-4317: Hunting for Sulfur

.Browsing the rugged, demanding Martian surface is regularly an obstacle, and also our latest effort to get to the "Sheep Spring" intended highlights this. We had actually pursued small, remote brilliant rocks, but coming from fifty gauges away (about 164 feet), the minimal settlement of our photos created it tough to make improvements navigation. After a determined ride, the vagabond came agonizingly close-- quiting just short of these little vivid rocks. The stones, with their distinguishing pivoted and matched "weathering" design (pictured), highly resemble elemental sulfur blocks out that our team have actually run into prior to. Frustratingly, although the intended rocks corrected under the main steering wheel and accurately noticeable in our navigating cameras, they stayed just out of range of the wanderer's arm.
