GoPro image: The balloon flipped upside down for a minute, so the GoPro caught footage of it!
GoPro image: Right where the girls balloon landed! It was caught in a tree for a while, but luckily it came down on it's own before we got there.
GoPro image: The insulation covering the GPS fell off! Whoops!
The Enzo Emerson was found! For more information, check out our blog post under "updates" Also, be sure to check out the news story on Channel 7 news, featuring more pictures of the launch!

The girls balloon landed looking like this! It was in a man's backyard in Belville, Michigan. Unfortunately, the boys balloon GPS lost signal, and we weren't able to locate it.
The man also showed Lindsey B, Meera, and Julia a baby turtle that recently hatched in his backyard!
This is a picture of Lindsey B, Meera, and Julia with man who's backyard the balloon landed in. He was very nice and let us find the balloon and explore his property. He even told us that the land he lives on has been in his family since the Huron Native Americans! What an incredible guy!
The Recovery Team! After the launch in Dexter, Michigan, we all ate at a restaurant in Ypsilanti, and then followed the girls GPS signal to find the balloon!
