They have hot air balloon events in Fresno and Clovis from time to time. My husband assisted with the launching of one as a assignment for our BSA troop assisting with a community event. As the pilot was ready to launch, he requested that my hubby climb aboard. He wasn't expecting to be invited to come along, but only took a second to recover and jump aboard for the flight.

It is facinating to watch you unfold and prepare those huge balloons for flight. The field that I was thinking of has ample room for the launching of one balloon. But there are numerous areas available of undeveloped land in north Fresno for you to chose from if that one doesn't measure up.

We need the 200'x 200' because if there is any wind, we need to be able to 'wave' around without endangering ourselves or the balloon.

I do want to get to Ca sometime though.
