This is a Google Earth version of the track and should open in your local Google Earth. For more information or to install Google Earth on your system, go to Google Earth.

Carol is out of town so we are on our own. Emails confirm at least 3 balloons, we ended up with 5.

Pibal shows the track will be N and the surface winds are very light. We inflated and took off 4th behind Adam, with Bob and Rudi already well north. There was some fog around so we chose slow and low to allow time for it to burn back north.

We were over a lot of forest so while the general location was known, I didn't recognize may roads. Crossed RT111 just W of Blanchard School, I think Adam landed there. For a while it looked like we would cross close to RT2 and I495, but ended crossing RT2 E of the Littleton train station. Continued over conservation land and for a while it looked like the small Water Department building off RT110, but we turned left across Warren St and landed in the small field their.

Due to high and wet weeds we pulled out the tarps. Rudi and crew were there to help with the pack-up.
