There’s pretty much no way that the rocket could be found without having a tracker.  With the 
Eggfinder, we were able to walk right up to the landing spot without really looking around for 
it.  We actually saw it on the ground in a clearing about 200’ before we got there, when we 
stood at “The Spot” and looked at our distance to waypoint, it reported 2’…  Mission 
Accomplished!
