ManyMoose, Not to worry. Those balloons don't fly very high, so you don't have very far to fall. <g> - Holly

Oh, that would be fun! Are you nervous?

Not at all.

The pilots who fly at the Stampede are very experienced, and they don't fly if the wind is too high.

The feeling is incredible. You climb into the basket, and the pilot hits the burner. You gently lift off, climb several hundred feet, and then start drifting with the wind.

Last year, we went up to 3,000 feet, then dropped to 20 feet and drifted over the wheat fields.

Incredible.
