Actually they look like Compounds. Super lay outs, many have the Huge Buildings for the Toys!
Thanks!, How was the Ride?
Whenever I see a Cemetry like this, it is so gross!! I can't believe there is No One who is either related to those who are buried there OR just someone Or group who gives a "Shit"
Yeah it was wierd. there were burials from the early 1900 all the way up to 2019. All were oddly crude- as in get a shovel and pile up some rocks. Its a very old mining town. Some were just a pile of stones
RosamondVery nice. Where is that trail????
Boy you were getting around up there yesterday... where'd you take off from and where'd you land? I saw your post about being over Temecula.Not a bad way to start the new year

We took off from some little field next to a park. Not sure where it’s at as they pick the spot based upon a wind reading 30 mins before the flight. All of the companies do this because the winds are constantly changing. View attachment 957747
We happened to land at a winery. I think it was Robert Renzoni, but I’m not positive. It’s right next to a bunch of grapefruit and orange trees, which we cleared with probably a foot of clearance. Our pilot had some serious control even though it’s pretty much wherever the wind takes you for the most part. The pic below is us approaching the grove in the basket.

Good eye. We were well below that, hit the heat, cleared it by a few feet, then dropped back down. They had several in the field.And right there in that pic is a wind machine (Recent topic in another thread) in So Cal, I thought they were all gone by now.
Landing, yup, we did a balloon flight behind Del Mar inland early one morning. Since most balloon trips ended up in the area of our home, we figured we'd get some good aerials as a bonus to a fun morning. Nope, winds changed, ended up in Miramar NAS (Pre - Marines) restricted airspace, bounced off one ridgeline, re-gassed and flew over another canyon, then finally bounced to a "On our side" stop on the next ridge line, but just barely before we went over the edge.
Fun trip, with one hairy scary finale for sure. Once was enough for us.

Our pilot is one of the few that does Del Mar. He does Temecula at sunrise and Del Mar in the evening. He told us it was much more sketchy, and he’s constantly cancelling flights.
Coolio thanks... I ask because I have a yacht captain buddy who also has a balloon and he makes $ on side flying corp schmucks on occasion. He tells me how dangerous it can be if pilot doesn't have lots of hours... winds and power lines kinda thing. And he never really knows where he's gonna land in advance, lol.... always looking for a guy he can pay to trail his ass in a jeep. Some view though eh. He sends me incredible pictures each year from the Albuquerque festival.... really something special.We took off from some little field next to a park.

No doubt it is. You should hitch a ride sometime.Coolio thanks... I ask because I have a yacht captain buddy who also has a balloon and he makes $ on side flying corp schmucks on occasion.

I've turned him down so many times all I get asked to do now is go to NM and hold lines.... I'm too much of a pussy to get in that basket. Always admire those that do though!No doubt it is. You should hitch a ride sometime.

That's fn cool!The new TV's 'ambient mode' is kinda cool. You take a picture on the app of the tv on the wall and it recreates the wall behind it to blend in. You can put artwork or photos up in that mode as well and it won't burn the screen if it stays up for hours. View attachment 959060
