• Our Launch Site is the ball field at The Clinton Elks, just two miles from exit 15 off I-78, Clinton, NJ.  Go to the Elks home page and you'll see a Balloon's-Eye View of the property (we took the picture from the balloon a few years ago).  Specific directions to the front entrance are on the "Contact Directions" page.

  For navigation systems, Map Quest or Google, use this address: 211 Sidney Rd., Pittstown, NJ 08867.   When you drive here, look on the left side of the road for the big white Elk signs on each side of the driveway.  Turn left and go to the end of the lane where there is a parking lot on the left and the Lodge building on the right.  The Elks Lodge is a public bar with rest rooms so feel free to use the facilities.  We'll meet you on the ball field at the appointed hour.   www.clintonelks.org/about.asp

• The History of Modern Hot Air Ballooning. In 1973, Dave Wesner witnessed the First World Hot Air Balloon Championships at the tender age of five.  American Balloon's Tom Oerman was there, too, as one of four U.S. pilots selected by competition to participate in this prestigious event.  Dave's site is a unique and comprehensive view of the early days of "Modern" hot air ballooning, with lots of great pictures.  www.ballooninghistory.com/
