Day 3 started out with a windy morning so no dawn patrol and no balloons going up at all today, so all we did was explor the grounds and fix the guest breakfast, lunch and then heavy snacks for social. Not to bad of a day with no balloons going up but we did have a great fireworks display last night. We had a gentlemen come to the opening day and explain a little bit about the balloons and one thing he said was yesterday the weather was great for flying, but today is to windy. So always get up because tomorrow can never come back.
Day 4 was a good morning for the guest, not so good for staff. The gen-set stopped just as we were starting breakfast. But no fear the staff went back to their coach fired up the generators and finished cooking the food and everyone had hot food. Then the dawn patrol went up.
There were about 6 balloons go up before daylight, but this was the best one that I got. Then about 30 minutes later all hell broke lose and this is waht we seen.
What a morning and they just keep coming.
Then we seen Humpty-Dumpty come floating by just above the coaches.
Now he hits the ground.
Then Humpty Dumpty lost his air.
Then right by our tent this guy lands his balloon.
Down on the ground and guest running to help him stay put.
Cyndy even got in on holding it down.
We had a great morning of watching them flying over us, it was really neat.
At 10:00 AM we departed on a bus for the Sandia Peak Tram Ride and lunch at the High Finance Restaurant. Yah! we don't have to fix a meal or clean up.
We have a great group on our bus.
Waiting for the tram, we were lucky our rally master got our tickets before we left the campground for the ride up. We seen people there waiting for up to and hour to get tickets, then they still have to wait another half hour or more just to get on the tram.
What a view.
Another great day at this Rally, having fun but still a lot of work and enjoying the guess.
