Got back from Rally for America in Valley Forge. Planning stunk. It took an hour to get the last mile to park. Then there was 2,000-3,000 people waiting for the shuttle buses. Got on one and drove to the rally site. Bus was not permitted to unload. So we drove back to parking site. 1210 didn't even cover the event on the radio. The site had too much traffic for the roads and I assume we were turned away because of too many people. Post your comments here.

You win the pithy comment of the day award, JVB.
It was a glorious day to celebrate America! We missed you.

We got there at 10:30 this AM. Parked at the Girl Scout HQ. and walked around till it got hot. If you didn't get there early, you couldn't get in late.
A lot more people than I expected showed up and was glad I waited it out.

Great job guys! The pics look awesome! I'm so happy that our Northern brothers/sisters did us southern folk down in Atlanta proud!
To: abner
LOL! Well, you can prove to a disbelieving FReeper crowd that I can fly!

LOL! My Special Instrument Rating does not hold sway under windy conditions!
Now, for my next trick, I will fly, and Abner will prove that I can, indeed, fly!
(C'mon Abner -- show the one where I am in the air, expertly manning the burner, in sustained LTA flight!)

To: mountaineer
No. A lot of things going on at home for all concerned made it impossible to make the trip. Sounds like a great rally, but the frustration must have been terrible trying to get in.

I was on the ground. Taxman's balloon was being hit by wind and he recovered nicely.

Sort of an instinctive reaction to man's most basic instinct: survival!
'Twere windy, wern't it?
Folks, you gotta trust me on this one -- if you ever get a chance to fly in a hot air balloon, take it. Most fun you will ever have with your clothes on!
