Sols 4316-4317: Looking for Sulfur

.Getting through the rugged, severe Martian landscapes is actually regularly a difficulty, and our current effort to connect with the "Lamb Creek" aim at highlights this. We had actually pursued small, distant bright rocks, but from 50 gauges away (regarding 164 feets), the limited resolution of our pictures made it complicated to fine-tune navigation. After an enthusiastic travel, the wanderer happened agonizingly close-- ceasing only except these little brilliant stones. The stones, along with their distinct pivoted and countered "weathering" pattern (visualized), highly look like important sulfur blocks that our company have actually run into just before. Frustratingly, although the aim at stones were right under the main steering wheel and clearly visible in our navigating video cameras, they continued to be just out of range of the rover's arm.
