Just some shots of the fun we had in the past.... and hopes to have more fun in the future.
Patturns In The Sky in center. Pictures taken by friends.
Chasing Pitas Kiss down ( South ( or towards the top of this picture )) the river. Baskets barely touching the water. Wicker lets water in... You dont really float as much as glide along the waters surface.
As you can see here. There is a padded floor cover in my basket. See the wicker along the top? About 3 inches up from the bottom of the basket. If you get deeper in the river than three inches... your feet are wet.
If you cant control your flight you will either go up off the water or drop into it... and yes... there have been times that balloons have gone into water up to the bolster or higher... Yes they did survive the shock of being that wet and YEP.. the came back out of the water and flew on to land. Very wet but safe and sound.
Gotta be a pretty skilled Pilot to touch the surface but not go into it too deeply.
Check out this flight into the Rio Grande...
Awsome Amazing Cool Wild Wooly Sweet
All good words.
Patturns Highperactive goes into the river chasing Pitas Kiss
Patturns in The Sky and a very artful and totally unexpected splash and dash on the West side in Rio Rancho... IN A PUDDLE!!! Yay PUDDLES!!!
