I checked further into the yesterday's balloon landing at the end of our street. Apparently one other balloon went down a couple of blocks over. I talked to one of the neighbors who has been on the block for a while. He said they average about one balloon landing in the filed south of our street every other year. He said one year a balloon actually clipped the house at the end of the cul--de-sac and landed in the field. He said none of the neighbors ever volunteer to help retrieve the balloon from the field due to the rumored animal population-bears, coyotes, rattle snakes, etc. He also had seen the balloon that just missed C470.

The rest of the story.
