Makes sense them wee little bombys making the rocks jump off the ground! Worked in and around Los Alamos for about 20 years myself. I am pretty sure thats the inspiration for the Sci Fi Channel's Eureka.

At any rate any time you want to bring the family and see the balloons fly, we can arrange something to keep the expense as low as possible. We live just about a mile from the balloon fiesta grounds, and with enough notice I can make sure the guest house is presentable. Early October I ususally still have the pool running, and of course the hot tub is running year round.

Now all we need is a pilot who flys balloons and wears Kilts.... Wait I think we might just have one! Any one up for a running of the Kilten?
