After a cool yet high flying morning, we set out to visit Tinker Town and conquer the Sandia Peak. Tinker Town was one man's self created collection of Americana. They had a boat that had sailed around the world (it took 10 years to do it), lots of old time circus paraphenlia, and lots of active displays. While at Tinker Town, we were buzzed by a gas balloon traveling back to the north at around 10,000 feet agl. The balloons should be headed north into the central plains over the next 24 hours. To follow the latest location of the balloons, click here.
From Tinker Town, we climbed to the top of Sandia Peak. This is the top of the mountain that overlooks Albuquerque. At that elevation, the temperature was a balmy 41 degrees F.

Mike, Rich and I at the top of Sandia Peak. Toward the top of the picture, you can see a gas balloon flying by.
Here is a picture of the snow at 10,400 feet. As you can see, I was dressed appropriately. ;-)

Wow! Or should I say, "cool!" =)
That pic at the top of Sandia Peak with a gas balloon flying by and some other scenery behind the three of you - great photo!
I love the bottle pic! And I just can't get enough of this blog. I love hot air balloons unfortunately I have a slight case of fear of heights. It looks like such a rush!!
