7 - Chris, KB0YRZ is out in the field standing beside the spot he believes the payloads first landed. You can make out some disturbed ground which is the drag trail in the lower left of the picture pointing towards Chris' location. Oh yeah, Chris is the little black dot just below the horizon in the center of the picture.

 

8 - Initial touchdown spot. The sharp indentation of the soil is believed to be indicative of a hard touchdown by the GPS payload. There is also a trail from this spot to the final resting location which can be discerned in the picture above showing the track of the dragged payloads across the field. From here to the final location is approximately 290 feet on a bearing of 170.6 degrees true.
