Balloon Quest Inc. at Balloonride.com in Fenton, MI was our choice for a balloon trip. It takes perfect weather conditions to take off but that leads to an amazing time in the air. Our crew was fun and experienced. When the burner is not on it is quiet and you feel no movement but the altitude changes are surprisingly fast and the crew read the winds very well. We were able to help take off (I was the last person to jump in on take-off) and we helped with take-down. I helped pull the balloon through a field...you would think it was lighter-than-air but I am an aging athlete. Overall, it was one of the coolest experiences we have had together as a family. Thanks, Capt. Phogg!
