[Kathi’s 50th birthday]
Up early – before sunrise to leave for Gardinersville – 3 Balloons ready to inflate in park. Getting into basket wasn’t as difficult as I thought & rising up as high as the Sierras was a thrill – Only a peek at Lake Tahoe then came down a lot. Good pilot who ranches nearby. Landed at Minden arirport right on target between other 2 balloons. Sarah & Kristi helped pack the envelope & then in van back to Park for Champagne breakfast – Tradition from first French flights.
To Reno Wildlife Park along Truckee – Ducks, birds.
