Mic if you ever come to the Balloon Fiasco, uhh, I mean Fiesta, we have a spare room you are welcome to. No kidding. It is held right behind where my husband used to work. Alas, they are closing that facility by the end of the year, so no more free parking. But there are other ways... It is a spectacular sight.

We have a major advantage over some places. because of the altitude, our temps drop 30 degrees at night, so we get some relief. Unlike Phoenix and Las Vegas. We did a coach tour and had stops at Yuma, Sanoran Desert National Park and Tuscon plus a few other places on the way through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 500 Rising against the sunrise. On the field (yes, you can actually walk out on the field, up close and personal) it is a truly colorful and majestic sight. Plus, they also have special shapes "rodeos" and nighttime balloon glows. And the ever popular splash--where the balloons descend down to the river (the Rio Grande) and try to touch their baskets into the water and then rise up again. Very cool.

Wow, I hope that wasn't during the summer. Those are some HOT places (and by hot I don't mean fun ) Did you see where they store the old planes outside Yuma? Quite a concept.

NoWhiners Posted July 27, 2019 Author #441 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Hi mates! Waiting to see how the Swans manage to lose another game, so I thought I would post roof update I am happy to report that the roof is done! We delayed our annual trip to the lake by a day because they were supposed to finish Monday. But they didn't. In fact, they didn't finish until Wednesday. Glad we decided not to wait until they finished. As a bonus, they also were able to repair our parapets (the tops of our walls that extend up past the roof) just in time for the big rains that hit the past 2 nights!! It took them awhile but they finished before the rain, so a happy ending. A minor miracle! Maybe the Swans will win, another minor miracle??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
