Nevada Recovery and Rescue

Some photos from Day 2 of the Samsung Balloon Project in Nevada. These photos were taken while on a recovery mission to retrieve the vehicle that flew up to space and subsequently fell back to Earth once the balloon popped. All went well until we blew out 2 tires on our way back to base camp. We didn't get back until 11pm that night with a call time the next day at 1:30am! But if it wasn't for the efforts of the Gregory brothers, we'd have slept in that canyon overnight. Although the scenery was gorgeous.
