Quiet week, no other Stow balloons on email so we were alone at the airport. Calm and clear morning before forecast rain in the afternoon.

Pi-bal showed light drift NE, shifting to SW, then stronger back to NE. We took off and stayed low, crossing the driveway and eventually Boxboro Road. Continued over the woods past Flag Hill Pond and finally got to West Acton Rd and the marsh beyond. Couldn't continue on toward Maynard, turning SW then NW back toward the airport.

Ended up north of the airport and shortly after crossing N of the airport entrance we slipped over a tree line and landed off Trefry Lane.
