The 18th Annual Colorado River Crossing Balloon Festival kicked off last weekend, and it was a blast. Balloons from Arizona and all over the country came to Yuma for the three-day event.
To promo the festival I was assigned a media tour in one of the balloons the previous week. We crash landed a few times, but it was still pretty amazing.
Here's some images from the the week
.
Thanks for stopping by.
