I don't know what it is about this country and lost balloons, but I found a couple more on Friday.

So if these are yours, and you have some way of identifying them, let me know. I found them here, if you're interested, but they're in my truck now (if they haven't blown out and gotten lost again).

Actually fairly remarkable where they were. Our prevailing winds are from the west-southwest, so the most likely route for your lost balloons was over the mountains to the southwest. Which would require your helium toys to have ridden somewhere above 9000'.

Even if you don't want your balloons back, I hope you're feeling better by now. Looks like they've been lost a while. And I hope it wasn't too much of a heart-breaker when they got loose (but you notice they stuck together out here in the wilds).

Things like this do make you wonder.
