Sols 4316-4317: Looking for Sulfur

.Navigating the ruggedized, demanding Martian terrain is regularly a challenge, as well as our recent try to get to the "Lamb Creek" intended highlights this. We had gone for little, remote intense stones, however from 50 gauges away (about 164 feet), the minimal resolution of our photos created it complicated to fine-tune navigation. After a determined travel, the vagabond happened uncomfortably close-- ceasing just short of these little bright stones. The stones, with their unique pivoted as well as countered "surviving" design (visualized), definitely look like elemental sulfur obstructs that we have actually come across just before. Frustratingly, although the target rocks were right under the main wheel and also precisely visible in our navigating cameras, they continued to be contemporary of reach of the rover's division.
