Tragedy and Triumph

For what it's worth, I have the need to share my thoughts about recent events in our little world of ballooning, thinking that perhaps others might be feeling the same way. Following the balloon reflector this week has brought out the full range of emotions, from excitement and relief, to extreme sorrow and grief.

Raul: I saw some pictures of our old balloon that were taken a couple weeks ago by Dawn Chase. How is the balloon doing. Hope you are well and surviving the winter.

Raul,

Was great meeting you and the rest of the gang this weekend. I hope our paths cross again in the future. Bummer we didn't fly but hey, that's the breaks. We are sitting in Eagle CO thinking we might be stuck here and extra day due to the snow in Vail. Hopefully not but we will see. We will definately be back to CO for sure. Hopefully in the summer when the weather is more predictable.

I am putting a video together with all sorts of ballooning pics and video and I was wondering if I could use your pics/vids in it? It is all just for fun and would be posted here whenever it is done.

Bluff was fantastic, despite a cancelled Sunday flight at Valley of the Gods. We had a great time anyway, so it's all good.

We expect to be in Lake City, barring bad weather. I'll see you there!
