Where there is fire, there is hot air. Sometimes that hot air goes into balloons, and, through the magic of science, makes them fly. Unless high winds make it unsafe and ground the balloons altogether, as was the case over the weekend at the second annual Animas Valley Balloon Rally (around 20 balloons finally got off the ground Sunday). Regardless, Friday and Saturday nights were for warming up – literally and figuratively – in Hermosa.
