Sols 4316-4317: Hunting for Sulfur

.Navigating the ruggedized, unforgiving Martian surface is actually consistently a problem, and also our recent effort to reach the "Sheep Creek" intended highlights this. Our experts had actually tried for little, distant bright rocks, yet coming from fifty gauges away (concerning 164 feets), the minimal settlement of our photos produced it tough to make improvements navigation. After a determined ride, the wanderer came uncomfortably close-- ceasing merely short of these little bright stones. The stones, with their unique rounded as well as pitted "enduring" design (pictured), firmly resemble elemental sulfur obstructs that our team have actually experienced just before. Frustratingly, although the intended rocks were right under the front wheel as well as accurately apparent in our navigation cams, they stayed contemporary of reach of the vagabond's arm.
