- 🎈Stan and Rhonda from Over The Hill Adventures finally make it across the country in time for the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta in New Mexico in of October 2023 . They were asked to crew with Pilot Dale Wong's balloon, "Ursa Minor." This was an experience and an adventure of a life time. After Stan jumping out of an airplane at 13,000 feet, what could top that? Well, Rhonda going up in a Hot Air Balloon for the first time! They summon the help of their friend Dave with @TheBorderHookups to help hold the hot air balloon basket down as the wind begins to dangerously pick up. They make new friends on the balloon crew and meet up with other CZcamsrs, Bob and Dang of @bobanddangsjourney 😃
Come join Stan and Rhonda as they begin to finish Season 6, Rally Bound & Beyond with a lot of hot air!

WOW, LOOK LIKE FUN. Way too many people for me. That is a beautiful picture with all of the balloons in the air. Just always remember, any landing that you can walk away from is a good one. LOVE IT
Tim did you see haw fast my girl got in that balloon. She is finally getting the concept of living your best life. You didn’t have to ask her twice and she was in!! It was the shortest balloon ride I ever saw! Blessings, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
I think going to a balloon fiesta/festival would be so fun! Thank you for sharing and taking us with you! 😊
Hi Kori and Jack! Honestly, they are fun, but being a part of a crew takes it to a whole new level! I think it’s the adrenaline of chasing the balloon and not knowing where (and how) it will land that adds to the excitement! Anyone can volunteer at most of the balloon festivals so if you’re interested check in to it. Thanks for flying with us! 🎈~ Rhonda and Stan
Enjoyed the event. It was a fun video. Blessings
Hi Betty Jo, we are always glad to hear from you. We are glad you enjoyed it. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
Great video
Hi Barbara, thank you for joining us! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
really like your videos.................
Thank you Stan the Man!
You guys did a fantastic job on this one - from the anticipation pulling into the lot and parking, through the excitement of opening day and and the food - we gravitated directly to the Satay as well :), The editing on this is top notch - really like the tension on during the landing sequences - that music fit the scene perfectly! And you got to go up - how lucky is that! Thanks so much for the mention - we really appreciate it - and having had the chance to meet with you as well. Look forward to our next encounter wherever that may be! Stay safe out there!
Bob and Dang, It was a highlight for us to meet you both at the Fiesta 🪅 Thank you for all your encouraging words, means so much coming from you guys! We were sick that my footage was corrupted and we couldn’t download it. First time since we have started this journey. Guess that’s not bad odds. Till we meet again! ❤️ ~ Rhonda and Stan
Thanks for sharing the behind the scenes of how this works. I love how enthusiastic you are❤😊
Hi Pam. thank you for joining us! We like to take folks right along with us. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
You guys rock! Great video and thanks for the shoutout!! ❤️❤️
Ho Dave and Jacqueline, it was fun it that moment seeing you Dave. We actually used your words for our thumbnail. We had a great picture of you hanging on to the balloon. Such good times!! One of these days will be able to sit and chat. We are always so busy. Today we pick up our new Grand Design 5th Wheel and start a new journey. Blessings to you both, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
Another awesome video, y'all! The Balloon Fiesta brings back a flood of memories. I moved to New Mexico in late summer 1971. It was wonderful! They started the Balloon Fiesta the next year (1972) early in the year (February, I think) in a mall parking lot - Coronado Center - off of I-40 and Wyoming Blvd. They had to move to the State Fairgrounds the next year because it got too big. From there, the sky was the limit (literally and figuratively). The video brought back a flood of memories of 28 years in the Land of Enchantment!
So sorry to hear Rhonda lost the Go-Pro footage of her flight! What a bummer!
Looking forward to next week's video!
Take care, safe travels and God bless y'all!
Hello Bob and Dottie, thank you for sharing your wonderful memories. When we began putting all our footage together the one most important clip was corrupted. We tried everything to bring it back. It’s all there just locked in a video tomb. It was so sad. However, we were still able to show all the excitement. Our next video will showStan going up for the first time. Thank you for always joining us and sharing your memories. We are so glad our videos can do that!
Blessings, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
Awesome Video! Was so great to meet you in Albuquerque! God's Blessings!
Thank you for joining us! It was great to meet you too! Blessings, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
So fun! The balloons are beautiful. What an adventure to help and go up in the balloon. We used to have hot air balloons land in a large field next to our house. The kids loved it. I imagine you are now planning your 2024 travels. Can’t wait to see where you are going 😊
Hi Claudia, One of the best parts about crewing is not knowing where we would land. We didn’t realize the balloons land anywhere. They try to look for large fields, but some even land in the streets. It’s pretty crazy out there! Loved every minute of it 😅😂🤪 Thanks for hanging out with us tonight!
Guys, that looks so fun! Maybe an OTHA trip there sometime?? 🤷♀️👏🏻😁
Yes!! We are crewing again this year 👏 Come see us!! ❤️
We were there too. It was great! We parked on front row and could watch from Motorhome.
Hi Teresa, we had such a great time. We still have another episode. Thank you for joining us! It was fun for us to relive all again. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
Wow’s that’s amazing and thanks for sharing your experience with us. That’s really going to be on my bucket lists to get to. Thanks From Wisconsin
We will be there again this year if you want to come see us 😅 It is really something to see and experience at least once. So beautiful watching all those balloons up in the air! Quite breathtaking 😍 Thank you for all your support. We appreciate you and Cathy. Look forward to meeting you both someday 🙏
We love ballooning! Michelle went on her first hot air balloon ride last December! I’ve flown in them many times. Such a soft and gentle ride… unless the wind blows too fast! 99% of the time it’s a great time. Bummer about Rhonda’s footage. - Jim
Hi Jim and Michelle, It was very surprising how peaceful it was up there! Such a great first experience, too bad my footage was corrupted 😫 We spent hours trying to bring it back to life, but no go. We were grateful Stan had the other camera on otherwise it would have been very sad 😢 Thanks for hanging out with us! ~ Rhonda and Stan
Yes, good thing Stan was filming. This has happened to us too! We were saying to each other while we were watching, "where is the footage Rhonda took?" Then we saw your message. Glad you enjoyed the ride!@@OverTheHillAdventures
Stan goes up next week and has some great footage to share 🙌👏
@@OverTheHillAdventures Great, we will look forward to it. We did a video about our balloon ride. It was an amazing experience. -Michelle
We will check it out 👏
Just watched the video great job! It sure brought back a lot of memories of my childhood!! We participated in that event but when e were there the ground was full of snow but we still inflated and went❤❤ So happy to see so many still going❤
Hi Lorie, Happy this brought back so many fond memories for you! It truly is such a fun event that everyone should experience atleast once. We are going back next year 👏 We are kinda hooked 😃
@@OverTheHillAdventures HI Stan and Rhonda it's not hard to get hooked so much fun!!
I would love to go there but no way would I go up in one, terrified of heights. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Hi Walter, The longer we waited to take off the more nervous I got. I was about to hop out, lol! Thanks for joining us tonight 👏 ~ Rhonda and Stan
Got a question...............Do you have to stop at truck weight station? if not why?
Hi Stan, we do not have to stop at truck weigh stations because we are not a commercial vehicle. However, if we are over weight over 26,000 lbs we could get stop and checked. That requires another license. A class A non-commercial license in some states.
Stop texting while driving!!!!
Hi Dennis, it was actually my Tire Link. I know better than to text and drive. I check my TPMS Tire Linc. The only thing I check when I drive. I gave out a lot of tickets for texting and driving.
