Before they got grass at Albuquerque we would go only to spectate. Our balloon is pink, yellow and blue so it would get way to dirty. We would have to win the lottery to afford to get our truck that far away from home because it uses so much gas! Life is so hard isn't it?
Our 1986 Chevy got 5.5 miles to the gallon both ways... To Abq and back to Philly... We can't afford a newer truck. All of our cash is in the balloons and fuel.
I understand. I have to say that the reaction of the crowds and the individuals that love the balloons makes it all worthwhile.
Do you have any pics of your balloon? I would love to see them.
