Illinois - Balloon Flight

10/03/2016 - Andrew Holly

So weve landed on another unbelievably friendly farm, this time in Illinois. By now, the farmer who owns the field we launched from and indeed landed on in Wisconsin has all of his family here with him as retrieve crew. An unexpectedness bonus but a soft 5 knot landing as the inversion held and again big wide open fields it was never going to be a problem finding somewhere to land. Final morning of our 30 days and thats States 41 and 42 and a total of 41 within the 30 days. An incredible team effort but we havent finished yet.... No time for breakfast as its off to the next state to see if we can squeeze one more in this evening....
