Balloons Gone Wild

Share your more interesting balloon finds in the mountains!
Yesterday the trail work crew found this one near Mt. Lowe Campground.
It's unusual to find a stray balloon that can be so easily dated. Super Bowl 42 took place on February 3, 2008 in Glendale, Arizona. One of Eli Manning's finest moments, he led the Giants to victory over the Patriots in a final-minutes scoring drive, winning 17-14. The game is also remembered for David Tyree's amazing "Helmet Catch" and Tom Petty's halftime musical performance.
I like to imagine that the balloon sailed all the way to Mt. Lowe from the game in Arizona. But it probably escaped from a party in Pasadena.
