3 1/2 days and counting...

The Michigan Challenge Balloon Fest starts Friday. We'll be heading up there at some point Friday afternoon with the first flight scheduled for Friday evening. Additional flights will be flown Saturday morning and evening and Sunday morning, weather permitting. There is also fireworks scheduled for Friday night and a balloon glow scheduled for Saturday at dark.

In the next few days I will be attempting to create an up-cover for the basket so that it will be covered during the heat of the day to prevent fading due to the sun. It should be an interesting experience, so be sure to check in to see the progress.

...and here's a random picture to keep your interest since everyone likes pictures :)



...this is what the balloon looks like from above while in flight.

Till next time...
