Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Well this wkend is the big International Albuquerque Balloon Fiestia and many here at our campground will be going.  There will be 800 of them so far this yr and if you are in the area do see it as it will be an experience and not to mention the pics you will be taking!! We have friends who have balloons in this event and have helped crew them.  It is hard work getting them off the ground and packing them up when they land but worth the ride, so up up and away this wk and next!

I'm envious. I went to that festival many years ago. It was the only time I've ever attended a hot air balloon festival and I was blown away. I have some nice pictures from that time and would love to do it again. If you can post pictures, I'd love to see them. Have a great time.

Just read in Trailer Life about a balloon festival in Gallup, NM Dec. 2-4. I'm going to sit down and figure out if we can get from our appointment at Carriage in Indiana on Nov. 13 to Gallup in time for the festival. They too, offer crewing opportunities. That sounds so cool.

Judy,


So how was the weather up in Albuquerque and did it affect the balloon festival.  I was cold but beautiful in Cloudcroft and a bit windy at 9000 ft.  Hope the wind didn't get that far north.  Unfortunately had to bring our daught back to school in Las Cruces.  Warmer but not so pretty.


Hope you had a great time.


Larry
