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.

If I didn't hear this myself, I never would have believed it! Awesome! In this day & age, It's amazing the farmer wasn't scared of a box in his field filled with weird electronics and a strange message!

I think the most amazing part is that the box survived unharmed! Hopefully you guys were able to collect some cool data!

Funny that your cell phone came to rest in the first community in the world to have touch tone telephone service.
