Sols 4316-4317: Hunting for Sulfur

.Navigating the durable, severe Martian terrain is actually always a difficulty, as well as our recent try to reach the "Sheep Creek" aim at highlights this. Our experts had gone for small, remote brilliant rocks, however coming from 50 gauges away (regarding 164 feets), the minimal settlement of our pictures created it tough to make improvements navigating. After an ambitious drive, the rover happened agonizingly close-- stopping merely short of these little intense stones. The rocks, with their distinctive rounded as well as pitted "enduring" pattern (imagined), highly resemble elemental sulfur blocks out that our team have actually encountered before. Frustratingly, although the intended stones were right under the front wheel and also clearly visible in our navigating cams, they continued to be just out of scope of the rover's division.
