All you have to do to get this is to visit these two sites:
A balloon trip to the edge of space:

The device they used to track down the instrument package:

So, here's the idea. Turn on the Spot, launch via helium balloon, allow to fly for half an hour, wait fifteen minutes, and then start providing delayed telemetry to each of two or more chase teams. First team to locate it wins. Or, alternately, first team to get it safely back to their base wins. Other teams can re-capture it by successfully mounting an assault using paintball guns (obviously, this assumes wilderness). Likely, it would play out over several days. Perhaps you'd play it using dual sport motorcycles (road-legal dirt bikes).
A high tech steeple chase.
Could call it a "Tracker Race." (Sounds a little like "Track Erase.") Who wants to play?
