Here are some of what we've been up to the last few days.
Sat. was a nice morning, we caught our shuttle early 6 am to catch the dawn patrol (that is the 4 balloons glowing) they go up first to test the winds.

Then as the forecast predicted the Storm hit Sat. late afternoon.
It wasn't fun for many of the RVer's leaving the next couple of days, many had to be pulled out of the mud. We hope our mud will be dry when we leave.
Monday morning's competion was canceled because of high winds, but Monday evening's Gas competion was a go.
Tuesday morning we got up early to be on a chase crew. We helped launch it from the festival sight and then rode in the chase vehicle. We saw alot of the local area while chasing the balloon. They landed in yard but it was gated and locked and we had to move it over the fence to across the street to a small pasture where the owner gave us permission to bring the balloon down.
We have also volunteered to crew Friday morning and evening for a different balloon.We have also visited the Petroglyph National Monument here.
Today we had lunch with the Carlows from home, they are heading home from their trip to CA. They came to the balloon festival this morning.
More from Albuquerque later.

Looks like you all are enjoying yourselves at the hot air balloon festival. The weather here is cooler but very nice. I went to Red Hats at Red Robin and had a nice time visiting with Bev and Kathy. Kathy's sister has had a serious stroke. Frances will get off prednisone at the end of the month.
