Sols 4316-4317: Searching for Sulfur

.Browsing the ruggedized, unforgiving Martian landscapes is always a challenge, and our current effort to reach the "Lamb Creek" target highlights this. We had actually aimed for small, far-off bright stones, but from fifty gauges away (concerning 164 feet), the minimal resolution of our images produced it tough to make improvements navigation. After an eager travel, the vagabond happened agonizingly close-- stopping simply short of these small intense stones. The rocks, with their unique rounded as well as pitted "weathering" pattern (visualized), highly resemble elemental sulfur blocks that our company've run into before. Frustratingly, although the aim at rocks were right under the main tire and clearly obvious in our navigation electronic cameras, they stayed just out of scope of the wanderer's division.
