these balloons and packages typically only go ~30 miles (depending on wind conditions),this time. but it wound up in Herndon, Pennsylvania. It had arrived in the "recipient's" backyard approximately 11 am Eastern time (10 am Central). When they had left for church it was not there, and when they came back it was. The distance between the launch site and Herndon as the crow flies is around 780 miles. This put the flight time at 16 hours. From there I calculated an average speed of 48.75 mph.
