Spectacular Sunrise

Thermopolis residents, June Litizzette (waving) and Bev Adams had the unique opportunity to take a fabulous hot air balloon ride over the terraces last Saturday morning. For Litizzette, it was the thrill of a lifetime and one more thing checked off her "bucket list."

Adams had a slightly different take on the experience. For her, it was like getting "back in the basket again" after crashing in a balloon in the California desert some 15 year ago. At the time, she and two other passengers were dragged a quarter of a mile after the crash in a remote area.

"I was shaking so hard as we took off," Adams said, "but I did it! I loved it and now I know what a normal landing feels like. I can't wait to go back up."
