We got up at 5:15 AM and walked over to the balloon field at 5:45. The morning glow was supposed to happen at 6:30, open ceremonies at 6:45 and lift off of ALL the balloons was to start at 7 AM.
We walked through some of the vendor area, then out onto the field where all the balloons should have launched but no one was even unpacking their trucks. The wind on the field was well over 12 mph and, according to a pilot we cornered, the winds aloft were over 30 mph. Both way too high for the balloons to fly with. We made an unsuccessful attempt to get coffee (lines were way too long) so returned to the RV for breakfast.
