Wow! That is a bummer! Good thing Dio didn't hear about your experience before her first flight! If we go next year we will go for the whole 9 days. I think we missed out on a lot of fun.

We talked about going to fly Red Rock on Monday after Fiesta but were too busy wrapping things up before we left yesterday.

Yeah, it was not fun. The pilot was showing me how the winds blew different directions and speeds at different altitudes and didn't realize that the other balloons had landed. There were balloons and chase crews all over the ground so our chase crew couldn't get through the traffic to catch us.

The reason he was showing me wind currents is because he had to talk me into going up to begin with. He had told me how safe they were and wanted to show me. lol Yup, it was real safe. :) You should have seen the look on his face when we were all out of the balloon. He really felt bad. I got my "initiation" before I left though. I wanted to grab that bottle and drink it for the pain, instead of having it poured on my head. lol

You guys should try Red Rock Balloon Rally next year. It's really growing and a fun time for all. :)
