Lawn-chair Balloonist Drifts From Oregon To Idaho
Kent Couch flew a lawn chair rigged with helium-filled balloons more than 200 miles across the Oregon desert Saturday, landing in a field in Idaho.
That's an exciting way to spend your Fourth of July weekend. I'm glad he didn't kill his fool self.

I particularly like his landing plan of carrying a Daisy Red Rider bb-gun to shoot the balloons with.
i'm no longer curious as to how you can fit a couch into a chair!

papa frank: If he's not careful, he could put his eye out with that thing ;-)
nanc: At least he's not a couch potato.
This story made the news over here too. *lol* the man is just a little loony. Brave and imaginative, but still loony
That looks like so much frickin' fun! :)
Just imagine how quiet it must be up there.
rav'n: I agree. Not something I'd do, but I can admire it from afar.
brooke: Utterly quiet. I had a boss once who used to keep bees for peace & quiet from his family. No one would bother him while he tended the bees. I don't know which hobby I'd be more afraid of...
