Sols 4316-4317: Looking for Sulfur

.Navigating the durable, demanding Martian landscapes is always an obstacle, as well as our current attempt to reach the "Lamb Spring" aim at highlights this. Our team had pursued small, far-off bright rocks, however from 50 gauges away (about 164 feets), the restricted resolution of our images created it hard to fine-tune navigation. After an eager travel, the rover came uncomfortably close-- ceasing merely except these tiny brilliant rocks. The stones, along with their distinctive rounded as well as countered "enduring" pattern (imagined), strongly appear like elemental sulfur blocks that our company have actually encountered just before. Frustratingly, although the target rocks were right under the front wheel and plainly noticeable in our navigation cameras, they continued to be contemporary of grasp of the vagabond's arm.
