Sols 4255-4256: Only Going through

.Finding ourselves lower than a gauge coming from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, our team began on a quite familiar program: Starting along with an arm foundation for removing dust and making use of APXS to investigate a bedrock target called "Russell Pass," putting the upper arm off the beaten track for image resolution, investing simply over an hour on Mastcam image resolution and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then one more arm backbone for MAHLI photos of Russell Pass, and also eventually a travel in the mid-day. These plans, termed "touch-and-go" strategies, are actually usually occupied at the start and reduce in the end. Our travel this time around is considered to go ~ 10 meters almost wonderfully eastern as well as leaving our moving almost perfectly west. If on Friday, our steering wheels are solidly on the Martian ground as well as there is actually a flat-enough base surface area to place our practice, our company could be remaining for an additional pair of weeks while we attempt as well as gather yet another Gediz Vallis network sample. And also because our company drive back along with the branch occupying the rear, we may also have a work environment our team've already steered over - ideally exposing some interior base even just before exploration.
