Today we launched balloons. We attached notes asking to let us know when and where they were found. We do this every year. Last year we had none returned. Other years, we have been luckier. The farthest away one has ever gone is to Canada. Two fishermen found it floating on a lake. Other places they have traveled are Michigan, Southern Illinois, Elgin, Gurnee. We've had a few go to Michigan. We chart them on a map. I think that if the balloons can make it to Lake MIchigan, then they must catch some lake winds and blow over to Michigan. It is a very fun project!
