My party and I attempted to ride on a Saturday. Unfortunately, due to recent rains, the crew was unable to launch the balloon, despite the pilot earnestly seeking out a safe spot. We were able to reschedule later in the week.
When we arrived for the second time, we were again told that it might be cancelled. However, the weather shifted in our favor. The views were beautiful, the ride was relatively smooth, and the crew was fun, especially Earl, (ride in his van if you can)!
After landing, we were told by our guide that they had seriously considered cancelling that morning, but they remembered our party had rescheduled for this day. "So we had to give it a try." Could this have been a little embellishment to make us feel important... maybe. But, I certainly felt special!
It was incredible!
Highly recommend!
