On the last morning of the 3 day holiday, Cindy flew her balloon with Yvonne, a Black Lab she is raising to be a GEB, Guiding Eyes for the Blind, dog. I can along as a passenger this time. We departed a field in Thompson, CT that is the site of a Corn Maze. The landowner let us fly out of her field right next to the maze. After I got Yvonne comfortable in the basket on the fuel tank, so she could look over the side while sitting down, we lifted off and took some pictures of the maze. We did a high flight for more pictures and to position us closer to our regular landing spots. Then we dropped down for a calm stand up landing in Pomfret. Jeff and Christeen crewed for us. . . thanks again you guys.

Bruce didn't have as nice a landing site as we did.

Doesn't look like ballooning in Woodstock, but maybe that's changing.
