My Life and Travels
We moved to site 64 today. It has been cold the last few days and we have used more propane than we usually do this time of year. Moved to a site with electricity so we will not run out of propane.
I spent a lot of time today mapping out the remaining days of this outing. We need to be back at the big house by November 22. Camp grounds are busier than past years and weekends are a significant challenge. I think I have a plan for every day except November 5 & 6.
Over the last several days I have updated the blog covering some of the things we have done during this outing. Something new is the balloon videos I took during Fiesta, they are on October 10th.
Marley has been enjoying this campground at Cochiti Dam it’s has some grass for him to pee & poo on.
This campground is 50 north of Albuquerque and a good place to get some sleep and decide where to go next. In site 39 with no electric and freezing at night. I did something wrong when I tried to book a site a couple of months ago. It looked to me as if I could not book a site after September 30. When we got here the host said the reservation system ends on October 15, oh well.
The drive.
Balloon pictures and videos.
Below are some of the videos I took during the Fiesta.
Glowing Balloons

Balloons and Snoopy
Inflating and Competing, in the second half of this video the balloons into the field. They have to go out at least one mile from this launch field and fly back to drop bean bags into a boat or squares on the ground.

Next year will be the Fiesta’s 50th year and they inflated a new balloon first time this morning.

Pictures from Fiesta
Lots of people, these pictures where taken on Saturday morning Oct 9. This event is such a cool gathering of people.
We flew the balloon today. Bruce took Karen on a 10 mile 2 hour flight to the northwest just south of highway 550 in Bernalillo. Landing was through a small tree and into a berm right next to dirt road.
I got busy and only got this picture of the crew, we had a good time. Life is good when the landing is right next to a road and the trailer can be driven up next to the balloon basket.
Brian came to Fiesta for three days.
We played cards one evening, Five Crowns. Brian won all the games we played. Jean could not beat Brian even with Marley’s help.
