Arky and the balloons

Arky is a 240,000 cubic foot Hot Air Balloon, flown by HIS SKY Ministries out of Grants Pass, OR. Arky doesn't make it to many events so Albany was lucky to have it at their Northwest Art and Air Festival. It is enormous; 110' long, 85' tall and 55' wide. He was pretty cool to watch and I think Lauren was trying to figure out how that cow got up so high! However, there wasn't much wind this morning which made it difficult. I don't think Arky made it that far!














Here's one that disappeared into the fog.






There were a lot of balloons. On the way home we saw many of them touching down in fields with their teams putting them away. Typically they head north because of the wind but with such a calm day, they ended up south instead. One didn't make it far from the take-off point; just the Coastal Farm parking lot! Two others made it all the way past Hwy 34 and landed right next to it.
