John Ninomiya brought his helium cluster balloons to the Winthrop Hot Air Balloon Roundup. Inflation began at 5 am on Saturday with liftoff around 7:30. He carries bags of water for ballast and pops or sets the balloons free when he wants to descend.

Six of us skied into the Rendezvous Hut, one of a series of wintertime huts in the Rendezvous area of the Methow, for a two night stay. Weather was not always good but a good time was had by all.
