Post by: Henry on July 04, 2005, 06:45:26 AM

Hi All,

Jim Nixon sent me the following photos and note regarding some activity at his house on Route 104 last evening:

A balloon came from the South over the Bellows Farm just at sunset

There was a full load of tourist aboard as usual.  The only thing different
is that it swooped down in front of my house very close

but, made a safe landing next door in my neighbor's hay field.

Thanks for sharing the photos Jim -
