A Detroit-area TV station arranged a balloon launch on October 21, 2009 at Island Lake State Recreation Area, practiccally in our backyard. The idea was to attract viewers by capturing the drama of hot-air ballooning along with scenes of brilliant fall colors. Their weatherman was the on-camera, in-balloon personality. We chatted with him before launch. He seemed nervous, recalling his only prior balloon experience 20 years ago ended up in the trees. Fortunately this launch was much more successful!
