Shuttle tiles carry serial numbers that correspond to a particular part on the spacecraft's underside. The pieces on the ground thus form a sort of bread-crumb trail leading back to the area on the spacecraft where the problems began. Find the westernmost part, and you have pinpointed the trouble spot. "That would be very, very significant," says Dittemore...

The first bear we encountered, a ragged eight-footer, ignored us as it lumbered squarely in our path while foraging for blueberries. Our guide fired his rifle into the air to no avail. After an hour's wait in cold drizzle, we crept past the munching behemoth, which glanced at us indifferently.
