Tuesday, 10/4/2011: Another beautiful morning. Slept in again, missing the Dawn Patrol, but got up as the balloons began to arise from the launch field for the Flying Events. Got a lot more great photos, as we did yesterday, the Albuquerque Box was working again.
One of the balloons landed right in our area, at the Hospitality Tent. The pictures below show many of our caravan members helping to land the balloon and get it put away.

The main event for the day was a bus trip to Santa Fe. The afternoon weather wasn’t looking good and we opted out of the trip. Instead, we went back to Old Town and wandered around leisurely through the shops. We then went out to the local Camping World to pick up some RV items we’ve been wanting. A Model Train Store was our final stop before heading back to the rig.We encountered some off and on rain as we ran around. Back at the rig, the rain stopped long enough for us to get our two pups out for a nice long walk. Then the sky opened up. It rained so hard for a short time that I couldn’t even see the RV’s on the other side of the drive from ours. It showered off and on for the rest of the evening.
