+thesanford5 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Calling all cachers. The 6th grade class at Fairview Middle School launched a weather balloon this afternoon at 11:25 am from Fairview, PA. Its flight has been being tracked. At 2:29 pm it landed somewhere southeast of Bellfast, NY and nothwest of Angelica NY. The coordinates from the tracking device are N 42.325142 W 78.066010. We would really like to get the equipment back as it has a GoPro and tracking device on it. Please help us get it back. There is contact information on the unit, or you may contact me directly at 814-790-1152. Thank you, Steve Sanford. Pass this information along to as many people as you can. Quote Link to comment

Spatial Distortion Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) the nearest caches are 2 miles from that location. I would try contacting those owners of those caches. Edited November 9, 2015 by Spatial Distortion Quote Link to comment
