This was the second annual Hudson Elks Balloon Rally. The weather forecast was better than last year, but still not a perfect wind condition.

The NWS winds and pi-ball showed calm low level, but the forecast was for winds picking up early. We got up quickly so we could get down early.

Kept the flight low to avoid leaving the area, and the possibility of turning south and crossing the very large Sudbury Reservoir. Crossed Intel(DEC Alpha) south of the building and parking lots. Crossed Fort Meadow Reservoir close to the surface (Bob touched down but didn't try for the bottom this time). Couldn't get to the beach parking lot, but right across the street a neighborhood had underground utilities and we set down in the street.
