The Indianola Balloon Classic is going on this week. I have been crewing for O'Henry and possibly Midnight at the Oasis. That means...and those of you who know me will be surprised by this...EARLY MORNINGS. Alarm at 5am, meet at the Bertsch house by 6am. Egads. But the weather has been great and I got my first balloon flight this morning!
It's an odd feeling being suspended hundreds of feet in the air within a little wicker/wood basket below a giant bag of hot air. But once I got used to it, it was pretty exciting as well.
Pictures soon. And those Gnomedex 3 pictures I promised as well (once I finish retouching some flash-fills).
