Red Rock Balloon Rally: All Set

Weather permitting (especially wind), the Red Rock Balloon Rally will be happening this weekend.

I managed to secure a campsite today at the Red Rock Park Campground. They called me this morning and I went there and paid for it and got my campsite picked out. If all goes as hoped, I will be in a good spot to watch the balloon ascension as the balloons are launched next to the campground. Even if the weather prevents the ascension, it will be nice to try out the campground. It's only $22/night for full hook-ups.

When I say "weather permitting", it is due to the forecast of rain and snow showers during the balloon rally. (Fingers crossed!)
