Sols 4316-4317: Looking for Sulfur

.Navigating the rugged, severe Martian terrain is consistently an obstacle, and our current try to connect with the "Sheep Spring" target highlights this. Our team had actually pursued tiny, distant bright stones, however coming from 50 gauges away (concerning 164 feet), the limited settlement of our pictures made it difficult to fine-tune navigation. After an enthusiastic ride, the rover happened agonizingly close-- ceasing simply except these little vivid rocks. The rocks, with their distinctive pivoted and pitted "enduring" design (visualized), definitely appear like essential sulfur blocks that our company have actually faced before. Frustratingly, although the aim at stones were right under the front steering wheel and accurately apparent in our navigation cams, they stayed contemporary of grasp of the wanderer's division.
