The weather forecast for the weekend was mostly rain, but Friday evening remained dry and calm so everyone could fly. We inflated and took off in the first group of three balloons, heading SW. After a low pass over the practice greens in the condos we headed across the new Alchemist Brewery in the field we used for refueling. Everyone was staying low the remain slow and avoid turning W. Across RT108, the river, and park, we continued toward the school on Barrows Rd. When it came into sight, we were E along the back edge and that allow us to climb 1000 feet for a good view. We shifted W and the plan was to fly over the field S of the school and land in one of the large open yards beyond. Unfortunately the surface winds started shifting W toward Barrows Rd. We landed in the big field and deflated on the side of Barrows with Stodolski's. Saturday was showers all day. Sunday had approaching rain on the radar, but 3 balloons launched about 5 minutes ahead of the mist. Timelapse Video captured on a static mounted Sony HDR-AS100VR:
