Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta – Friday October 6, 2017

Friday morning many of the balloons go out to local schools and show the kids how the balloons are inflated and then go flying.



Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta – Thursday October 5, 2017




After the 4:00 daily Escapees happy hour I started the generator and the internal charge did not come on. When I plugged in the new charging system the internal system started charging. Sure seems to be a problem with the internal’s systems ability to sense when to come on and charge. I don’t think it is a loose wire because I had the internal charger out while we were at the big house in July-August.

I did get to use my new $3.00 Goodwill WhirleyPop.
It works great.
Lees Ferry, AZ – Tuesday September 26, 2017

This is the only fish I saw caught today, slow fishing.
After fishing we went to the Marble Canyon Post Office and picked up the tickets we purchased for an early morning breakfast at the Balloon Museum on Thursday October 12. I purchased the tickets last winter however they were not mailed until after we left home. Zach sent them General Delivery to the Marble Canyon Post Office. Thanks Zach!
Lees Ferry, AZ – Monday September 25, 2017
I got one 14 inch rainbow.


This is the same fish. Taking these pictures can be interesting. Standing in the middle of the river, fly rod, fish in net, camera. That’s three things and two hands.
I net the fish, get the hook out, take a picture and then use the 12 inch marking on the net frame to measure the fish. Then it’s fish free into the river. Nice sunny morning.
Lees Ferry, AZ – Sunday September 24, 2017
Got this one on my third cast this morning. It’s a good 14 inches.
I moved about 20 yards up river and after a while I got this one, again a 14 inch fish.
Both on Wooley Buggers, first one on a black, the second one a brown wooley bugger.
By this time there were at least twelve people fishing this area and I didn’t have anyplace I could move to without interfering with someone else. I fished for another half an hour and called it a day at 10:00 a.m. I didn’t see anyone else catching any fish. I had a great time.
