Hot Air Balloon Rides?

[highwayjunkie]

Does anyone know of you can take a hot air balloon ride around here?

I'd be surprised if there was. The entire area is essentially restricted and heavily controlled airspace because of the bases, and I'm not sure how you can risk the chance of coming down in a munitions test area that's still live.

and if you drift the other way, better have some floaties on your arms.

Thanks for sharing this, I was not aware NC had one. I have always wanted to go to the one in NM, but this is much closer.
