4/21/09 - On to Texas!

Rv's started leaving on Monday, April 20th and the Rally wasn't officially over until Tuesday, April 21st. On Tuesday morning we heard RV's starting to leave as early as 4:30 AM and it was a steady mass exodus from then on. We pulled out about 9:30 headed to Amarillo. Saying goodbye to Albuquerque, it would be fun to come back for the big Balloon Festival. From a small gathering of 13 balloons in 1972, the Kodak Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta has grown to become hands-down the largest balloon event in the world. Held each year during the first week in October, the Balloon Fiesta has hundreds of balloons and over 1,000 pilots. After having the motorhome for 6 1/2 years we are finally going to get to Texas, if only the panhandle part.
