***edited and raised the reward***
We are once again hoping to get some assistance from the geocaching community. I had spoken to Miss Jenn (back in April about a similar flight) she granted me permission to post the request on the forums.
We recently launched another high altitude balloon from Dallas Texas. The flight went to over 100,000 ft. Needless to say, it caught a 65mph NE Jet-stream and the balloon traveled much farther than planned. We took the 5 hour drive to the location, attempted recovery but, we lost too much daylight to proceed.
The balloon has a red and green payload (neoprene lunch bags) with a red parachute.
Are hopes are to gather high altitude pictures, along with other high altitude data.
We have exact gps coordinates and are offering a $200 reward for finding the payload.
