Flying Weather and Weather Forecast into the Memorial Holiday Weekend!

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

And now, the details. Possibly the best hot air balloon ride flying weather will be today and early Wednesday. By Wednesday afternoon, the winds may be picking-up as well as the chance for showers and storms due to the proximity of a back-door cold front. The front is currently forecast to move through on Thursday night with a greater chance of showers and storms and improving weather late on Friday. This front will usher in cooler, more seasonal temps for over the weekend. There is a chance that a weak front will move through Saturday night into Sunday with possibly another front late Monday night or early on Tuesday. You will need to check back later for the weekend weather updates as nothing is set in stone at this time.

05-24-AM Hot Air Balloon Ride

Monday, May 24th, 2010

It was a beautiful, summer-like morning for a hot air balloon ride. Had 2 ladies from the Cape Cod area on-board this morning out in the Argyle area. The flying weather looks good again for tonight and should hold through Wednesday morning before the weather may turn against us. I will wait until tomorrow before giving a detailed forecast for the week thru the coming holiday weekend.

Coopers Cave Ale Company

Wifey and I went for a lite dinner last Tuesday to The Pub at Coopers Cave Ale Company. Coopers Cave Ale Company features an ice cream stand with a selection of their own soft and hard ice creams, and sodas; the Brewery where you can sample and purchase their fine craft ales; and the newest addition to the Bethel’s biz, The Pub restaurant where you can enjoy a selection of good pub style food and their craft brews.
