After a long dry spell, I hit the jackpot today off-trail, west of Devil's Rest:

Maybe people are reminiscing about simpler times when things like this were popular?

It's been an odd week. Months with nothing and then balloons galore!

Today, SSW of Devil's rest, off-trail:

Somebody finally did it! I'm thinking Paul or Jerry. Or maybe I pulled a pen out of my pocket and did it myself.

Thats an idea. Write "hi chip" on balloons and then set them on the ground, don't release into the air
