A colorful bunch of balloons inflated to honor a beloved teacher who died of leukemia broke free and traveled more than 900 miles to a South Dakota cornfield.
"The balloons were still full of air," said Michael Beadle, who recently discovered them while deer hunting near Onaka, S.D.
This is actually pretty touching...the teacher's husband recalled how she always wanted to fly.
Did you ever attach a letter to a balloon and let it go, hoping to get a response as a kid? I sure did and actually got one from like 90 miles away or something. Had a pen pal for a while, as lame as that sounds now.

I hope that someday we can harness the power of helium balloon travel.
