Sols 4316-4317: Looking for Sulfur

.Navigating the rugged, harsh Martian landscapes is always an obstacle, and our current effort to connect with the "Lambs Spring" aim at highlights this. Our team had tried for little, far-off brilliant stones, but coming from 50 gauges away (about 164 feets), the restricted resolution of our images produced it challenging to tweak navigation. After an enthusiastic ride, the vagabond happened uncomfortably close-- quiting simply except these little intense rocks. The rocks, along with their unique pivoted and also countered "surviving" pattern (imagined), firmly are similar to elemental sulfur blocks that we have actually encountered just before. Frustratingly, although the intended rocks were right under the front wheel and also clearly obvious in our navigation cameras, they continued to be contemporary of range of the vagabond's arm.
