Inflations have begun

Inflations have begun in the 61st Gordon Bennett. At 5am MDT or 1pm Swiss time Peter reported that 10 of 21 balloons were inflated and Foxtrot Charlie was still waiting to start inflation. Wind is picking up and with no trucks allowed on the field, there is nothing to tie off to. I've posted a couple of pictures, notice the gray clouds!
