HardAleeAdventures Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Hi All! We are on our way to the International Balloon Fiesta and and will be staying Monday-Thursday in the VIP West (Harvest Host) area. Anyone else heading that way and/or interested in an impromptu meet-up? We are currently Airstreamers, but ordered our Ollie last week, so expectant family members. We’re full-timers and heading to Alaska next summer. We’d love to meet up with other travelers.

Moderators Mike and Carol Posted October 2, 2022 Moderators Share Posted October 2, 2022 Sounds like fun. We’re heading the other way tomorrow, to Tennessee for a few weeks. The balloon festival is on our to-do list. Mike 2 Texas Hill Country | 2016 Elite II #135 | 2020 Ram 2500 6.7L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Hi Jason, Kelly and Stormy! The balloon festival sounds like so much fun. Enjoy! My husband Kirk and I pick up our new Ollie December 5. Getting ready for our drive out to Tennessee in a few weeks. It seems that we have a lot in common with you guys (looked you up on Instagram). We too love IPAs, wineries, sailing, adventures and we have a silly standard poodle named Galena. Would love to meet you guys someday. Our home base is Twin Falls, Idaho. See you down the road.

Moderators topgun2 Posted October 2, 2022 Moderators Share Posted October 2, 2022 Sailors of sea, sailors of land - welcome! A "number" of years ago my wife and I drove through Albuquerque on our way to a hiking trip out of Silver City, NM and stopped at a motel for the night. When we got up the next morning the sky was covered with balloons! It was either the first or second year of the festival and we did know a thing about it. Have a great time!

Shawna and Scott Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I have been to Albuquerque many times but it been a few years now and never the balloon fiesta. I would be very interested in going in the next couple of years. Any advice on where to stay etc would be very much appreciated. 2 Vincent, Ohio | 2022 Elite ll, Hull #1182, 2014 Ford F150 3.5L EcoBoost, Max Towing PKG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators topgun2 Posted February 17, 2023 Moderators Share Posted February 17, 2023 There are several YouTube videos relative to the balloon festival by RV'ers that have been there over the past couple of years. These include advice on the best places to camp, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SN7IfcWkrHg&ab_channel=ChangingLanes This link is for one of them but there are several others too. Bill p.s. the "link" function was not working when I posted this but you can copy and paste the above link if it doesn't take you directly there. 1 3 2023 Ford F150 Lariat 3.5EB FX4 Max Towing, Max Payload, 2016 Oliver Elite II - Hull #117 "Twist" Near Asheville, NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
