Sols 4316-4317: Seeking for Sulfur

.Browsing the ruggedized, severe Martian terrain is regularly an obstacle, and also our recent try to reach out to the "Sheep Creek" intended highlights this. Our company had pursued little, far-off bright rocks, however from 50 gauges away (about 164 feet), the limited resolution of our photos produced it challenging to fine-tune navigation. After an eager drive, the vagabond came uncomfortably close-- ceasing simply except these tiny bright rocks. The stones, along with their distinguishing rounded and matched "enduring" pattern (visualized), strongly appear like essential sulfur blocks that our company have actually experienced before. Frustratingly, although the target rocks corrected under the front steering wheel and also precisely noticeable in our navigation electronic cameras, they stayed just out of scope of the rover's division.
