Sols 4316-4317: Seeking for Sulfur

.Getting through the rugged, unforgiving Martian landscapes is consistently a challenge, and our current attempt to reach the "Lamb Creek" aim at highlights this. Our company had aimed for small, remote vivid rocks, but coming from fifty meters away (concerning 164 feet), the minimal resolution of our pictures created it complicated to fine-tune navigation. After an enthusiastic travel, the vagabond happened uncomfortably close-- stopping only short of these tiny brilliant rocks. The rocks, along with their distinctive rounded and also matched "surviving" design (imagined), strongly look like elemental sulfur blocks that we have actually experienced just before. Frustratingly, although the aim at stones were right under the front wheel and precisely apparent in our navigating cameras, they remained just out of range of the rover's arm.
