Inside The Envelope

Lifting the envelope fabric from within the colorful confines of his hot air balloon, "Spokane At Its Best" pilot and owner Forey Walter readies for early morning lift-off while shadows of spectators line the side of his inflating balloon. Walter was one of thirty-three ballonists who launched shortly after daybreak for the "Hare and Hound" part of Walla Walla's Annual Balloon Stampede. Walter's balloon was the "hare". His balloon launched first and was chased by the others.
