Final answer:
The provided excerpts do not include details about the challenges faced by Garcia's family in scattering their father's ashes as described in the podcast 'Scattered', thus making it impossible to answer the student's question.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the podcast Scattered, Garcia narrates the family's journey to fulfill the last rites of his father by spreading his ashes. The challenge they face in scattering the ashes is not mentioned in the excerpts provided. Therefore, based on the information given, it is impossible to confidently answer whether it was hard to acquire a boat, an empty piece of shoreline on the beach, a car to drive to the dock, or a visor for his mother. These excerpts from various narratives and not from Scattered do not present the answer to the student's specific question about Garcia's family's quest in the podcast.
