And their off!!

Easterly winds throughout the afternoon were gusty but dropped off nicely for the flight. Had a few virga showers around 10 thousand feet, but did not have any lasting affects on the flight.

Had a hare and hound from the field, with three hare balloons (Todd Isley, Jeremy Rubin, John Jensen). Ready for competition in the morning.

Is that you in the first pic at top in the basket? I am not sure I recognize you. I can't believe how many baloons there are. That is so cool!

Kurt,
Oh how I wish that was me. Since I am not a licensed pilot yet I am not allowed to fly at events like this...yet. I am working on my pilots license and will hopefully have that this fall so I can fly events like this next year.

There are around 100 balloons here for the week. Was real hazy again this morning, will publish a few more pictures later on.
