Maryland
(cont'd)

 

 

The shadows lengthened as the sun dropped toward the horizon. The other balloons began to land.

 

 

 
 

 

 

I dropped in lower and floated over the treetops. Gary and Carol were with Dave Lee somewhere out on the road ahead.

 

 

Finally, I dropped into a likely-looking field that fronted on the road. I began hopping out my way out, and Gary walked in to lend me a hand.

 

 

 

Some local people came out and helped us put away the balloons. Then we drove back in the dark to the Flying H Farm, my Maryland flight at long last complete.
