Friday PM, Low and slow takeoff heading across the driving range and golf course. We stayed at tree tops to work east to the valley before climbing to turn up the valley. Landed on a drive through the middle of field, south of Morristown airport.

Saturday AM, Hot and Humid with a lot of potential energy. SIGMETs in the area forced the flights to be canceled.

Saturday PM, Afternoon rain ended early so the evening looked good, but headed south. We got off with several other balloons and headed south a 9-19 mph. Some landed just across Mountain Rd, some in fields on the ridge. We flew to Moscow road but turned west before crossing the road. Landed on a small island in the river, near the road. Tossed the drop line to the crew and they (with help) pulled us over to the field across the road for deflation.

Sunday AM, VERY light winds. Only a few balloons landed off the Stoweflake property. We looped around a couple times before eventually landing behind the Alchemist. Walked between trees to deflate in their parking log along the solar canopies. Drove across the driveway to refuel.
