Wrapping up - AIBF 2017

It has been a great adventure at the AIBF. Sorry for not posting during this time, as mainly we get up, crew with a balloon team, visit friends, take photos of the various balloons. Then come evening head to our work station and then come home. Then in between we visit see some wonderful friends and sit back and then get ready to start it all over again.

This year Susan arranged and setup for 17 Rv's to come in and be Volunteer Navigators. Out of the 17 Rv's only 1 person choose not to work, and 1 person experience an accident that made it impossible for him to work.







In the end everyone enjoy themselves and had a wonderful time.




This year I was able to get a balloon ride, along with Lorraine and Dave. Susan opted out the first day and said let Dave go, she was scheduled for the next day, but our balloonist got sick. She will have to wait another year.







Our work at the Gondola Club was easy. We were scheduled as drivers. We were both scheduled as parking lot attendant for 1 day each. It really turned out to be easier than courtesy shuttle. Our time spent with the customers were little and usually only when they needed a ride.





Dave, was an excellent team leader and has been during this for well over 10 years. Dave loves the long hours and working at the Gondola Club.

Susan and I both enjoyed our time here, the more we do it, we each learn the ends and out of chase team and meeting the balloonist on and off the field.

Plus some special photo ops;





But, alas, it was time to wrap up and head out. We opted to head to Casa Grande instead of Enchanted Trails Rv Resort. We had not planned on driving the whole way, but that is what we did. 450 miles, straight to our lot at Rover's Roost. SO this is where we sit, until Thursday, when we head to Puerto Penasco - beach front.

In the meantime, this 3 minute video wraps up our fun at AIBF:
