We woke up this morning to a familiar sound to some, that is if you had watched a hot air balloon being inflated. If you are new to this blog, go to October 3rd 2015 to see a lot of balloons.
2 Fans partially filling up the balloon with air.
Once the fans have done their job, the the burner takes over. It doesn't take much to finally inflate the 140,000 cubic feet of space. When finished, 4 people hop in for a ride at $225 apiece.
Looking up to where the peaks run almost 8,000 feet.
Looking down at the rock hugger.
We did our 2 mile walk into Rainy Lake...where the lake is very clear.
Diabalo Lake from the lookout point.
A panograph including around the corner. Off in the distance is the Diabalo dam and generator complex that supplied over 100 Megawatts back in 1936. At the time built, it was the tallest dam in the world.
Grammie found a friend in the visitors center. This one was shot by a poacher who also did the taxidermy work on it, and then for some reason donated it to the National Park Service.
