I Crashed My Drone into that Cliff a Week Ago... Let's Try and Recover it with GPS!

Last week when I was shooting the test drive in my Range Rover Sport with fancy new exhaust... my DJI Mavic Pro drone went rogue and backed itself into a cliff across the canyon from where I was shooting... ugh!
Of course, it was late in the afternoon and after spending several hours stumbling around the loose hillsides in my Vans sneakers and getting soaking wet in the river... I had to abandon the search after the sun set and it got dark. I was able to capture the GPS coordinates in the DJI Go app before the drone battery died.
There the drone would have to sit for the rest of the week due to some work obligations I was lucky to get.
A big rainstorm was on it's way to the area, and this Sunday was my last chance to attempt a drone rescue before thing would be ruined for certain.
So I copied the GPS coordinates into my @onXOffroad app and just followed the blue dot in the direction of the drone to the best of my abilities.
This video is the documentation of that attempt.
