The last few weeks have been busy for me as I help to prepare the RV parking area for the hundreds of rigs headed this way for the 50th Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. This place, like others where I spent a lot of time with Storm is filled with bittersweet memories for me.
I think he would be amazed that I have joined the layout crew. When not needed to stuff goody bags for arriving guests, I help mark the dirt with parking places for RVs. When Storm and I volunteered here before women were not allowed to participate in this work. I like it because it is outdoors and it keeps me busy until Fiesta starts.







Storm would certainly be proud!!!!! ??
I hope so, Love you!
Glad you are there and I know that Storm would be proud of you too. Almost went there once but the roads were not marked very well for us to find the place and I figured it would be packed anyway so we just drove through. Good to see the jam part too, I need to find some folks and do the same. Hurricane Ian just went through today, neighbors lost some power for a couple of hours but ours was fine, it is over for us now and we can have a peaceful night I hope. Keep up the good work and can’t wait to see the blog you send out when the balloons are all up one morning or afternoon. GOD BLESS

Sure am relieved to hear that Ian left you alone. Can’t wait to get balloon pictures. I hope to be on the field tomorrow morning at 5am for the first mass ascension this year. Take care and love to you both!
Thanks so much for the info you have me. My friends and I will see you there next year. We got an airbnb.
