Sols 4316-4317: Searching for Sulfur

.Navigating the rugged, demanding Martian surface is regularly a problem, and our recent attempt to reach out to the "Sheep Creek" target highlights this. We had actually tried for small, remote brilliant rocks, however coming from 50 gauges away (regarding 164 feets), the minimal resolution of our photos made it tough to fine-tune navigation. After an ambitious travel, the wanderer happened agonizingly close-- ceasing merely except these small brilliant rocks. The stones, along with their distinguishing pivoted and also countered "enduring" pattern (pictured), definitely look like elemental sulfur blocks that our experts've faced just before. Frustratingly, although the aim at stones corrected under the front tire as well as accurately visible in our navigating electronic cameras, they stayed contemporary of scope of the rover's arm.
