Dan the Wx hasnt changed. It is supposed to be awesome
this weekend. Warm around mid 80's and very light winds.
Night time temps around upper 50's. See you Saturday! D

Thanks Doug,

Patti's loading the cooler as I type and I'll hitch up and we'll be on the
road shortly.

Another great weekend on the dry lake. At last night's party, 100 paper hot
air balloons were launched into the night sky. What a sight!

This morning, the group went out and cleaned up the balloons...

Yesterday would have been a great day to truck tow at Roach Dry Lake.
There was a cloud street overhead with dust devils off the lakebed, and plenty of other streets close by.
Cloud base was 8 or 9,000' over the McCulloughs.
Camping might not have been as much fun.

Try to plan the next event around those conditions!
