We managed to make it to the farm in Ohio. it was a Looooong drive. When we arrived, we weren't sure if we were at the right place, but we were told by the farmer, that seemed to be waiting for someone, that we were. Farmer Jeff is the guy who found it in the combine harvester. we also met his wife. he was keeping the box in his garage along with his dog who seemed to like the box and was sleeping near it. Jeff and his wife were really nice and were curious about our project and, we assumed, really wanted to see our blog. (Hi, if your reading this.) Jeff told us that he was harvesting 20 miles from his place, and he told us how to get there: from what we could tell by the box, is that it was chewed on, rained on, covered in mud, cut up by a combine harvester and the adopted home of MANY bugs. (personally, i think that bugs should NOT exist.) but everything was present and not all that damaged. however, the parachute was gone (we assume the farmer needed it to be cut off because it was jammed in his harvester.)

As you and me know, we lost our flight box for unknown reasons.
#5 God kept the box. (we can now eliminate that from the list.) We have been hoping (and praying) that a farmer would be riding his combine and see our flight box out in the corn and say: "is that some box out in my corn?" then he would walk out and pick it up and say: "that a phone number?" and then call it. But that didn't happen. Instead, a farmer was driving his combine and suddenly his combine lost tune. He then got out and looked in the feed box to find a styrofoam box equipped with a parachute and phone. And he was kind enough to call my dad. The box was unharmed! :) In case you didn't figure it out yet, we indeed did find the box. Surprise. We plan to drive down to Findlay OH this weekend to meet the farmer, see the location, get the box and put the pictures on the blog. Stay tuned. |
