Sols 4316-4317: Looking for Sulfur

.Getting through the rugged, unforgiving Martian surface is consistently an obstacle, and our current attempt to get to the "Lamb Creek" target highlights this. Our team had gone for tiny, remote brilliant rocks, yet from 50 gauges away (concerning 164 feet), the restricted settlement of our photos created it tough to adjust navigation. After an ambitious travel, the wanderer happened uncomfortably close-- stopping just except these small intense stones. The stones, along with their distinguishing rounded as well as countered "weathering" pattern (imagined), highly are similar to elemental sulfur shuts out that our team've encountered just before. Frustratingly, although the target rocks were right under the main tire as well as precisely noticeable in our navigation cameras, they continued to be just out of range of the rover's division.
