Odometer Reading: 12173.0

Stopped for the night at the KOA in Tucumcari, NM about 180 miles East of
Albuquerque. Heard ion the news that there had been a Ballooning accident and one woman from California was killed and her three friends and the Balloon Pilot were injured. There was video of the incident on TV. Very scary!! The events for the day were cancelled but they resumed again last evening. We have a scheduled balloon flight on Thursday morning.

Will be heading into Tijeras, NM about 25 miles East of the Fiesta. Will spend the night there because anything closer will be either full or the requirement is to book for three nights during the Fiesta. We are booked on the Fiesta grounds Wednesday through Saturday. I thought it was Tuesday but I was wrong-again!! We will be picking Linda (Ron’s sister) and her husband John up at the airport on Wednesday. They are joining us for the Festival and Balloon ride.
