Switchback replies: Yes, this is probably true.? But my balloon will be made of?self sealing material.? My basket will be Kevar lined too.? Should be no problem at all.? Everyone will want to ride with me.? It will be called balloon-blazing.? Everyone will want to yogi a ride with me.? I would have a GPS automatic pilot attached to my small motor.? You would come aboard and go to sleep for the night.? When you wake up the next morning, you are 30 miles down the trail.? Not bad.? I would set the PCT yo-yo record with no problem.
