Another beautiful ballooning morning. Saturday the wind came up too early but Sunday is perfect.

Started out east to the forested area away from the airport. Eventually crossed the W Acton Rd to play in the swampy area, drifting through the dead trees standing in the water. Most of us converged near the S Acton Train Station, we continued east trying to catch a slight left to head for the soccer fields near the Concord rotary.

Eventually became obvious there was not left available so we picked a nice clear area... that turned out to be the WR Grace Superfund Cleanup site! Surface cleanup is done but it's still fenced while they work on ground water. Not a good place to deflate so we continued on to the Stop and Shop on RT62.
