Hi All,
Our plan today was to sleep late, skip the balloon launch and visit some museums. One look out the window at 7:30 changed all that.
With wind from the North, the balloons were flying right towards us and some were very low.
After the first wave passed, we began to see the effect called the Albuquerque box. Surface winds were from the North but at about 500 feet the wind was from the South so after flying passed us, they would climb above 500 feet and fly back towards the launch field. We even recognized a few balloons that made several laps around the "box".
Here comes the yellow fish.
Humpty Dumpty
This one was designed by a quilter
Many came over very low!
But the Zebra stayed high
Several balloons landed in the RV parking area.
Maybe we'll get to the museums
later ;-).
Love,
Sandy & Carl
