Normally, this launch site in the Platte River valley makes for a scenic flight.  This
morning, we had to wait quite a while for the fog to lift...


This morning's passengers were my co-worker, Tom, and another friend, Crystal


Looking back toward the launch site and the Linoma Beach lighthouse, just beyond. 
The fog has lifted, but not by much.


Looking up to the top of the balloon as we add a little heat.


An in-flight portrait.


This family followed us for a while, then found a place where they could get out and
show the kids the balloon close up.


Getting ready to drop the balloon over on its side, just west of Gretna.


Breakfast first, or champagne? How about champagne for breakfast!!
