Hey South Wind! Get Your Head in the Clouds!
Hey there South Wind! Does anyone have a really adventurous side? If so, how do you feel about being suspended about 3000 ft in the air, give or take? If you’re screaming out, ‘yeah! let’s do it!’ then you’ll probably enjoy a ride in a hot air balloon at Ace High Ballooning in Lewisburg.
Now, this is something that you really have to be amped up and serious about. For one, you’ll be suspended about 3000 feet in the air, and on the other hand, Ace High Ballooning is about 50 minutes away. Not really gas friendly.
But if you’re up for it, reach out, touch the sky and let your cares float away with the wind. The balloons are FAA Certified Balloons, as well as the pilots. Balloon rides are offered at sunrise and about two hours prior to sunset, so you can either greet the sun, or bid it farewell. I think sunset would be the best time, but you do what feels right for you. The entire adventure lasts approximately three hours with the flight time lasting about one hour depending on friendly and safe landing sites.
Long pants, low heeled shoes and casual clothing is suggested. You don’t really have to worry about bringing a jacket, since it doesn’t really get colder as you fly. There isn’t an age cap, but you should be able to jump from a kitchen chair and be able to get in and out of the basket unassisted. Customary to tradition, there will be a champagne toast when you land, and sparkling cidar upon request.
Doesn’t it sound like fun? Are you interested in something like this?
