| Lewiston Auburn Sunday Night & Monday morning- 2005 | ||
 Sunday night had really pretty clouds. Then they started to look ominous. |

 |
 We began to inflate Patriot & America One when the winds did a 180 on the field. |
 |
 The fabulous footage is here- Video: Special thanks to Ryan Crawford for holding that camera steady and getting the whole thing on video.
|
 No damage to any of the people helping and no damage to any of the balloons including ours. WHEW! |
 I was at the basket end during the 'Dance of the Winds' and this is what Patriot looked like from that angle. |
 |
 |
 |
 This doesn't look quite right! |

Monday morning. We try to fly again.
|
 This time, the weather cooperated, there was enough crew and it was a beautiful morning! |

This is how it is supposed to look... |

I went to the Chiropractor. If you are in Maine, anywhere in Maine and you are in need of a chiropractor. Go see Dr. Reeder. He'll fix you right up!
|
 After my chiropractor appointment, I went to see Patriot being packed up and then I sent Barry to Dr. Reeder's. |
 Perfect landing at Bates College. |

Dan, one of the original organizers of the balloon festival chased Patriot. He is watching the packing up festivities from his car. |
