The weather
I just got an extended forecast for ABQ.
For the latter part of next week.........80's in the daytime and 60's at night. Wind should be lite...................... PERFECT!!!!!
BTW, I'm planning on coming in a couple of days early as I have to pick up my 'date' at the ABQ airport on Wed. Ken J and I will meet the rest of the crew at Camping World as planned.......

camping world directions?
To avoid reading the 1000+ posts again, could someone confirm that Camping World is on north frontage rd of I-40 west of Exit 140 or Paseo Del Vulcan/Central Ave exit?
Thx

Let's have Ken make a post with the exact time so we can all be on the same page. The group staying in Grants on Thursday night should get to Camping World around mid morning. We are only 80 miles out and will just hang out at CW till it is time to roll into the fiesta. Meeting friends old and new is what it is all about. BTW, New Mexico is in the Mountain Time Zone and the are currently on Datlight Savings Time, is that correct? That would make them 1 hour later then Arizona since we do not do DST.

Beer waitress
Due to the size of the gathering, we have decided to hire a waitress.

Vital Statistics
No doubt the following statistics were established by a federal grant
the average adult consumes 21 gallons of beer a year and
Walks 900 miles during the same period. That comes to 43 MPG

The purpose of the EZ UP would be that we would put it up in a commons area over communal tables and chairs...and to shade the liquid refreshments...'least, that's what I was thinkin...

I say bring it. They take up very little room when stored, I just throw mine in the back of the truck. If I don't set it up, I can slide it under the trailer.
I like the idea of the common area. A great place to hang between events.

I admire how well you guys planned the weather - here we are, a week out, and it is blowing a pluperfect gale here in Chinle (not that far away, as the crow flies). If this weather had waited a week, we'd all be hunkered down in dive bars rather than watching balloons.

Key grab competition
Weekends are the mass ascentions.
Mid week are the flying competitions.
Here is video from last year.
Watch the Friday the 13th video to see the pilots fly
over the field to grab prizes attached to the top of a pole.
One guy got $4000 and another guy got a Honda Ridgeline.
2007 Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta
The balloons must launch from off field hopefully directly up wind
from the prize poles on the field.
The pilot is disqualified if he hits the ground.
This year the key grab will be Friday Oct. 12.
