| Hi,
Mango Mike here. We're on our way to POG II in Sante Fe (October 2006). We teamed up with JDUB, Rae, and Chris and Debbie Yates at OSU. Thanks to a tip from Tom Truk4u we had a primo parking space for the buses overlooking the launch area. As you'll see from the following pixs it was an unbelievable experience - coupled with perfect weather and a few laughs. |

The boys headed down each morning for homemade green chile breakfast burritos. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Predawn (5:45am) launching of some balloons was incredible. Like lanterns hanging in the sky, their lights would switch on and off with the firing of the burners. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| White dots hanging below the basket were blinking navigation strobes. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| First balloon up in the morning would show the flag and the playing of the Star Spangled Banner. | |||||||||||||||||||||
