October 19 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 13 °CWe left Memphis in sunshine, but it soon gave way to clouds. We saw lots and lots of cotton fields in Western Tennessee. As we crossed the mountains there was some color in the trees. As we passed Knoxville we spied a tower with a gold sphere on top. I did not get a photo, but googled it. It was aRead more
October 18 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 17 °CThis afternoon we took a boat ride down the Mississippi River. It was a beautiful afternoon. We saw some "grocery" barges. They deliver fuel, fresh water and groceries to barges moving up and down the river so they do not have to stop for supplies. This evening we got a ride in a pink Cadillac fromRead more

October 14 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 17 °CLast night's sunset over Texas and then the hunter moon rising over the wind turbines in Texas.

Next is the leaning waterRead more
October 14 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 18 °CThe first photo is Dawn Patrol. The rest are of the mass ascension. I am just trying to give you some idea of how a sky full of balloons look. The pictures just don't do it justice. We got a late start leaving Balloon Fiesta Park. Our friends, John and Denise, could not get their levelers toRead more
October 12 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 14 °CStarted the day early and watched the Dawn Patrol leave and then the winds brought them back and then they headedt. The mass ascension began and you could see hundreds of balloons in the sky at the same time. The rally provided breakfast burritos today. They were quite tasty with green chilies. ThenRead more
October 12 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 15 °CThe almost full moon rising over the Sandia Mountains. The balloon glow from the field. There must have been at least 100 tethered balloons with burners firing. When the balloons deflated there were 4 sky divers with pyrotechnics and a wonderful fireworks show! Beautiful evening!
October 11 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 9 °CUp at 6AM for the Dawn Patrol. The first balloons to go up and test the wind. Then the mass ascension of hundreds of balloons. Then more balloons coming into the field and trying to drop beanbags on a target or throw a ring over a pole. All that was over by 9AM. It was in the 30's this morning. WeRead more
