Sols 4316-4317: Searching for Sulfur

.Navigating the ruggedized, severe Martian terrain is regularly an obstacle, and our current attempt to reach the "Sheep Creek" aim at highlights this. Our team had actually gone for tiny, distant vivid rocks, but coming from fifty gauges away (about 164 feets), the restricted resolution of our photos produced it complicated to make improvements navigating. After an enthusiastic ride, the wanderer came uncomfortably close-- ceasing just short of these little brilliant stones. The rocks, along with their unique rounded and pitted "weathering" design (pictured), strongly appear like important sulfur shuts out that we have actually encountered just before. Frustratingly, although the intended rocks were right under the frontal steering wheel as well as precisely apparent in our navigating electronic cameras, they remained just out of scope of the wanderer's arm.
