You all collected data from the balloon, right? It should be fairly easy to interpolate it into a much tighter search area than you presently have. Could you set up a site where you post your data? I have some experience with data interpolation and I would love to see if I could help.
Thanks,

How soon do you think you guys will be going out to find it again? I can’t wait to see some of the photographs!
Hey Bob, go check out balloon.pbwiki.com for more info and let me know if you’d like any more help. A pack of math ninjas has narrowed it down with 4 projected landing sites withing a square mile to get checkout out. You can see that info at http://balloon.pbwiki.com/EasterEggHunt
