Sols 4316-4317: Seeking for Sulfur

.Browsing the ruggedized, severe Martian landscapes is actually constantly a challenge, and also our recent attempt to reach the "Lamb Creek" target highlights this. We had pursued small, far-off bright stones, however coming from 50 gauges away (concerning 164 feet), the minimal resolution of our images produced it tough to adjust navigating. After an enthusiastic travel, the wanderer happened uncomfortably close-- ceasing just except these little brilliant stones. The stones, along with their unique rounded as well as pitted "enduring" pattern (imagined), firmly are similar to important sulfur blocks that our experts have actually run into before. Frustratingly, although the target stones were right under the main tire and plainly visible in our navigating video cameras, they remained just out of scope of the rover's division.
