Keeps your eyes open for a hot air balloon tomorrow morning!!

We could end up anywhere... prisoner of the wind for an hour!!

If you dont mind me asking, what do they charge for an hour ride per person?

Did everyone on the ground look like midgets. :lol:

Truthfully I am a little nervous.... don't care for heights much.... I fly in a plane ok so I'm hoping for the best.
Cathy has wanted to do this for a long time, tried in Sedona, AZ, but the winds were to much..

If you see us don't stand under us you might get a surprise...!!

I did it once and it damaged me for life....lol Not really but I am waaay to scared of heights... Ill fly but hell with the rest.

[Dipstick]

Don't spit on my house! You will probably go right over it. They always do when they launch from Springboro.

We went on a sunrise ballon ride in Australia. It was absolutely spectacular. I'll have to see if my wife has pictures from it online.

I would have to go at sunrise...that would be so awesome. Can i get a package deal and sky dive out of it? LOL

[MrsAPE]

It was a very large basket and balloon. I think we had about 15 people in ours.

[Pops Fun]

Wow!! That is a lot of people... I thought 5 was a lot...:lol:

[sean]

I am glad you had fun and your still alive... lol I know its safe... I just cant do that high and be in a wicker basket.

[cstreu1026]

I thought I would feel cramped and claustrophobic but it really wasn't bad. I thought it was the smoothest and most incredible ride though and I hope to go again someday.

[Evil_Capri]

Great shots guys! Thanks for sharing!

[Goldenpony]

Hey Steve. Linda and I did that several years ago. An absolutely fantastic experience. Glad you had a good time. I'd love to do it again.

[cstreu1026]

Hey Steve, do they have a website or anything? I am thinking this would be awesome to do this fall when all the trees are changing.
