Sols 4316-4317: Hunting for Sulfur

.Navigating the ruggedized, demanding Martian terrain is constantly a challenge, and our recent effort to reach the "Lambs Spring" target highlights this. Our team had actually aimed for small, remote intense rocks, but coming from fifty meters away (about 164 feet), the restricted resolution of our photos created it challenging to tweak navigation. After a determined travel, the vagabond came uncomfortably close-- quiting just short of these small brilliant rocks. The rocks, with their distinctive pivoted and also countered "enduring" pattern (imagined), definitely are similar to essential sulfur blocks out that our experts've faced before. Frustratingly, although the target rocks corrected under the main wheel and also clearly noticeable in our navigating cams, they stayed contemporary of reach of the vagabond's division.
