NASA shuttle program manager Ron Dittemore said NASA was particularly interested in any pieces that may have fallen from Columbia as far west as New Mexico, Arizona or California. The FBI was checking reports of possible debris in Arizona.

I heard Dittemore say that today and my first thought was the Grand Canyon. It would probably be eaiser to find the Lost Dutchman Mine than a 6X6 inch piece of tile. Can someone post a topo map of the flight path.

I don't have a topo map but I used to live in Nacogdoches and I can tell you that entire area is DENSE forest with some small towns carved out. Most of the forest is yellow pine/oaks and the floor is thickly covered with pine needles and venomous snakes galore. (Hopefully, it's still too cold for the snakes to begin to surface, but spring is just around the corner down here.)

I have no doubt it will be decades before some of the parts are located.

A topo map would not show all of the vegetation.
