Sols 4316-4317: Seeking for Sulfur

.Navigating the rugged, demanding Martian surface is always a challenge, and also our recent attempt to reach the "Sheep Spring" intended highlights this. Our company had gone for small, far-off bright rocks, however coming from 50 gauges away (about 164 feet), the limited settlement of our images created it difficult to fine-tune navigating. After a determined drive, the wanderer came agonizingly close-- stopping simply except these tiny brilliant stones. The rocks, with their distinct rounded as well as countered "enduring" pattern (envisioned), strongly look like elemental sulfur obstructs that our team've come across prior to. Frustratingly, although the aim at stones were right under the frontal tire and accurately noticeable in our navigation cams, they continued to be contemporary of scope of the rover's arm.
