Well, I'm back in St. Louis.

The group left Alburqurque Sunday morning at 9:45am mountain time and manage to make it to Joplin Missouri at 11:27pm. It would have been nice enough drive but it began to rain about an hour or so into the trip. It rained all the way to Joplin. The temperature began to drop and winds picked up. We were tired when we got to Missouri.

We awoke to more rain. It was nice getting up at six in the morning given that we had been getting up at 4 in the morning. We loaded up the luggage, had a hot breakfast, fueled the vehicles and off we went. It rained all the way to St. Louis. It rained all the way from the middle of the Texas panhandle to St. Louis Missouri. Rain, rain, rain.

I've been home for about five hours and it's still raining. Tonights game between the Cardinals and the Mets might be rained out. I'm tired of rain. Well, its the middle of October in the Mid-West what else should I expect.

Sorry, but I've no pictures of the trip back, it's was too dreary to photograph anything. Now that I'm back I hope to post some notes and pictures of the last parts of my trip to Balloon Fiesta. Till then, stay dry.
