Incredible experience gently ascending from the Green of Quechee VT, floating along the waterway, over the golf course, close enough to see a dog’s warm breath in the crispness of a late October morning. Skimming within reach along treetops ablaze in Autumn foliage as the day gently awakens in softened sounds only heard from a close distance above the ground. Sharing in a celebratory experience with new friends-maybe a birthday, or a ‘thank you’ gratitude moment with loved ones, or maybe an item off their bucket list of life’s adventures! It was an exceptional treat for me – thank you Mom! Thank you Gary and your chase crew! Your outstanding safety record(since 1983?!! Wow!!!) was evident in your demonstration of weather assessment, thorough balloon set up and instruction to passengers-and never a compromise in the balance of fun and safety. It was an awesome experience!(And a soft enjoyable return to earth).
