Found a last minute announcement about the Tall Stacks Music, Arts & Heritage Festival Balloon Race in Cincinnati, OH. Whats a little drive for a two day rally? Besides, I have relatives in Cincinnati that I haven't seen in years. We arrived on Friday afternoon, found our way around town, and checked in to the Hotel. Saturday morning was fogged in so we set about 7 balloons up on the field for the crowd. Saturday evening there was a Balloon Glow across the river at Newport on the Levee. Fireworks went up about a mile down the river just before all the balloons deflated. Sunday morning was clear and calm. The launch field was so small that 20 balloons required 3 waves to launch. The hare balloon climbed up to clear the area and initially headed across the Ohio river into Kentucky. After a while it dropped lower to turn east into Ohio for a landing in a nice large park. Most of the balloons (including me) converged and landed in the same field. |
