Hmmm...wind is not good for the balloons, hope it is calmer in ALQ. Too windy = they don't launch.

We head out tomorrow morning - driving straight to ABQ, staying at Enchanted Trails - right next door to the Camping World.

See you all Friday! Travel safe ~

Shari, it's pretty windy in NM, too, but it's supposed to be settling down as this storm exits to the east.

How are things at your place. We should be rolling in Tuesday afternoon.

Any chance you might be stopping by the Fiesta? Happy hour Friday, Pot luck Saturday...

We have all arrived and will be leaving sometime (9:30-10:30) Thursday. That should put us in Grants around 1:00 PM

We have four rigs

Ken & Linda Lawson
Frank & Carol Leonhardt
Steve & Faith Kopp
Terry & Greg

The wind is 40-50 kts (thats Knots) not MPH. Still very high.

Its also FALL weather.

Pretty empty, but that's not surprising: It's the season to be empty.

I wish we could come by, but we've got a bunch of work to do here, all delayed stuff. Once we're caught up, we're outa here! (At least the Airstream is ready to go.)

Bobz Hog (Bob and Phyllis) and us are at Flagstaff KOA this evening. Aside from my truck problems (see my blog below), all is going well. 100+ in Needles yesterday, supposed to be 32 tonight. Quite a change. Going to try to do La Posada on Thursday but will be in Grants in any event.

**azflycaster** · 09-30-2009, 11:09 PM

You can meet up with a bunch of us in the morning at Little America. The group should be there around 9:30. La Posada for lunch sounds great.

Hope you have a great rally. We sure did enjoy it two years ago. We'll return someday soon. Have fun and safe travels.

Travel safely everyone - the winds here have been fierce the last couple of days. This morning wasn't bad but they kicked up in the early afternoon and have been blowing non-stop. Hopefully they'll clear up before Saturday.

Rod and I won't be at the rally but we'll be at the park Sunday night for the evening glow. Hopefully we'll run into some of you.

Grants, NM: Winds were whipping around here in Moab all day on Wednesday. Provided an extra challenge while 4-wheelin' the back country! SilverPal is on the way to Grants!! See you later today!

Ok, missed last year, so what's required for the TTQ contest?

Anthony - go to 2008 Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta Rally and check out message #366

It will give you some idea of the TTQ contest.
