July 25, 2004 (PM flight)  Back to Index   July 3, 2004


Alice, Ron and I all work at the same company.  Alice and I met shortly after I
started my new job.  When I told her I fly balloons, she told me she was going to
Albuquerque for the Fiesta that very afternoon.  Naturally, she wanted to fly in our
balloon.


We drifted low over this corn field for half a mile, until we got to the wide shoulder
of the road.  You can see how slowly we're travelling - Stephanie is "chasing" on foot!


It was somehow fitting that this was "Cornhusker Road."  This is the picture on our
home page and trading cards.


A gentle, stand-up landing in the short grass.


And over goes the envelope, as we begin to pack up.
