Hot Air Balloon Ride in Napa Valley – Shot with GoPro Extension Arm

Hot Air Balloon Ride in Napa Valley – Shot with GoPro Extension Arm

Here’s a 5-minute video of our hot air balloon ride in Napa on July 22, 2013. We met up with the group at the Domaine Chandon winery before sunrise, and took a shuttle to a golf course for the launch. Our balloon was the guinea pig testing the winds. We quickly rose to 1,100 feet, and peaked at 2,500 feet. After circling around to find a landing spot, we dropped rope, got help from the pilot’s crew, and touched down on a dirt path between 2 vineyards. Since we were not near an open field, I helped them walk the hovering balloon down the road so it could be deflated. The GoPro with extension arm was priceless for capturing this experience! And Mom checked one off her bucket list 🙂

  1. Nope. You’ll never get my ass up in one of those death traps. I want more than fucking gas vapors holding me two thousand feet in the air.

  2. It’s always been a bucket list item for me to go up in a hot air balloon, but when I see how cramped it is in that basket, I’m much less interested. 😬

  3. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
    Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
    And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: (Acts 17:30)

  4. I hate this type of thing because it reminds me of social anxiety disorder, claustrophobia, and a fear of heights all mixed into one awful trip!
