At mid day the red balloon was back, again behind the power lines, but not to the south by Bell Road, but to the southwest. It was past the 101, in the part of Scottsdale within the loop. From its position it was obvious that it was over the golf course where the tournament is taking place. It has been a big spectacor event here locally for years.
I walked along the Natural Causeway until I saw the balloon positioned behind the four lined-up. metal towers, with the balloon in the central diamond between the mid sections of the two inner towers, like a beating heart in the symmetric center of the towers and the lines.
Nearby to it, and also behind the power lines a light plane circled with a large advertising banner promoting a brand of beer.
The big planes are still coming in, swooping low and heavy over the undeveloped desert and they clear the power lines in their approach to the old Thunderbird runway, which is over eight thousand feet long, and capable of accommodating large aircraft..
