It looked to be a beautiful day and Kiko planned to go up. We were pleasantly surprised when Keith asked if Scotty and I wanted to go up with him today, and of course the answer was yes. It is not at all a guarantee that you will go up when you sign up for balloon crew so we felt lucky! We are in plot V6, which means we are one of the later balloons to take off. We ready the balloon for takeoff and then it was time to jump into the gondola. It’s just an amazing experience to lift up above the world and see the city below to me. It’s not a scary experience at all, which is surprising to me. We floated for maybe 40 minutes and took lots of photos and enjoyed the quiet float up in the clouds. Kiko picked out a road for a landing spot and there happen to be another crew down below. These gentlemen helped pull the basket down and then took us over onto the road away from the cactus infested field. It was only about four minutes until Keith showed up with our regular Rat Cheese crew. Kiko effortlessly landed the gondola onto the bed of the truck, which seems like a stroke of genius. It’s hard work lifting the gondola up onto the bed. We all loaded into two trucks and headed back to the fiesta field and once again enjoyed the company of these newly made friends.
