No flips for you!
Felix, scrying would be next to useless in this situation. All you would get is a scene of the PC's walking though a forest. Trees, bushes, maybe a squirrel or two. Not exactly a great way to tell where they are. Forest kinda all look alike once you're actually in them.
As for the spot, toughie. The rules don't make a specific point of this, but I think that the circumstance bonus/penalty brought up by RigaMortis is a good solve. Be careful, though... it might lead to abuses when a character is actually tring to hide. "What do you mean I don't get a bonus for hiding behind the tree? I get a bonus if I just stand there right?!"
