Sols 4316-4317: Looking for Sulfur

.Getting through the durable, severe Martian terrain is always a challenge, and our current attempt to reach out to the "Lambs Spring" intended highlights this. Our team had actually gone for little, remote bright stones, however from 50 gauges away (about 164 feets), the minimal resolution of our photos made it challenging to tweak navigating. After a determined drive, the wanderer came uncomfortably close-- quiting merely except these little brilliant stones. The stones, along with their unique rounded and pitted "enduring" pattern (visualized), firmly resemble elemental sulfur blocks that we have actually faced just before. Frustratingly, although the aim at stones corrected under the main wheel and also accurately obvious in our navigating electronic cameras, they stayed just out of reach of the vagabond's division.
