We're getting some mild lightning and rain here now in Hershey. Sending it your way now to get it out of the way. Good weather predicted for the week-end. Hope Mr. Abner can launch the beautiful baloon.

Will try and make it.

We won't be able to launch, but we plan to tether for at least an hour.

Praying for dry ground...

Yeah, the sky has gone from beautiful sunshine to very gray and overcast in just the last couple of hours.

But, I have the back door WIDE OPEN. It's above 45 and that's good enough for me. "-)

Hope to see you there.

Why aren't you able to launch your balloon?

I remember meeting you in West Chester (Sore Loserman rally).
Mrs. RVN and I will be in Valley Forge on Sunday bringing a couple of carloads of our friends. See you Sunday!

A couple of reasons. Mostly balloons only fly at sunrise & 2 to 3 hours before sunset, unless the weather is perfect with nothing coming in. Secondly, Valley Forge really frowns on balloons landing anywhere in or near the park. They can pull your ticket if you land in a national park. The wind would have to take us in a perfect direction away from the park.

That is fantastic.

We will be arriving at about 10:00 AM to get our tarps and groundcloth set up. We can always use more crew....

It is going to be awesome! We aren't going to interfere with the rally, we will be inflating between 12 and 1.

Just wondering silly questions. Do they charge you to tether your baloon in the park?
What does it cost to fill the baloon with hot air for an hour of showing?
If this is none of my business.....I understand.

Not at all. Gives me an excuse not to work and not feel guilty about not working...

National Parks are off limits. The Freedoms Foundation is not part of the park so we are allowed there. They aren't charging us, we are coming there for free. The cost of the propane is going to be about 60 or 70 bucks. For a event like this, our base price is about 5,000 for us to show up and tether or inflate and take off. Balloon festivals are priced a bit differently since they are usually 3 days in length and they supply crew and rooms.

A normal round balloon gets about 300-400 hours of life. With the special shapes, we will be thrilled to get 200 hours before it gets retired.

Man! I wish I could be with you guys on the 16th! But - no can do! I'll be with you all in spirit. I was really proud to be a part of the Freeper group at the Pittsburgh rally - what a special group of folks! I hear Badray is taking a group from western Pa. Have fun!
