FINAL EPISODE OF EARTH, WIND AND FLYERS

Sunday, October 10 - After the final balloon launch this morning we began preparations for leaving the Festival Park and returning to High Desert RV Park for a week's stay. We plan on RESTING after our twelve days boondocking. We are thrilled to say we did not have to dump our tanks or re-fill our fresh water tank the entire time here (12 days).

It was another beautiful day for balloon flying. Even though several hundred balloonist left, the sky was still filled with beauty.

France Germany Japan
Ireland Lithuania Mexico
Netherlands New Zealand Poland
South Africa Spain United Kingdom

Before pulling out we started cleaning the inside of the MH. With the dusty conditions at the Balloon RV Park everything is filthy. Time for “fall” house cleaning. We wiped everything down...all the wood, countertops, glass, ceiling, and swept the floor. We will definitely have to clean the outside next!

After we finished cleaning it was only 10:30. To Marsha’s surprise this is what she saw Paul doing….now remember it is only 10:30 AM!!!

YES THAT IS A BEER IN HIS HAND! He said he thought it was later than 10:30…RIGHT Paul!

We arrived at the RV park about 11:30. Each time we check in we ask for an end spot if possible. They are usually bigger, and Bella likes only having one neighbor to worry about…LOL

Spent the rest of the day enjoying ELECTRICITY. It is amazing how much of a difference that makes.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you back real soon. Enjoy your day!
