Yesterday a few group members were out retrieving our weather balloon... or so I thought. When we came back to school the next morning I asked how it went and then he explained how they drove down to 3 different site one was last ping the second site was a valley that could have intercepted the package and a lookout spot to see if they could see the balloon from above. They saw a white speck and they thought it was our package and even if it was it was on private property and they wouldn't be able to retrieve it. Also it was on the Mexican American border so that was a problem because we believe that it's possible that the balloon could be on Mexican soil and it would be almost impossible to get it back then. But this was only an opportunity to learn. We learned from this that we should be very thorough with our weather checks and we shouldn't take the risk of losing our package.
