Blimp ahoy!

Yesterday I told you about the blimp's first sighting, in Amesbury, Mass. That's about 360 miles from its mooring at the Lofts of Valley Forge, in Pa.

The surprised gentleman who found it in his backyard, Denis Nadeau, was gracious enough to call the number on the side of the blimp to let us know it landed. He also took some photos of it, which he has given me permission to post here (thank you, Denis).

Unfortunately, while Denis tied the blimp down, a gust of wind freed it from the rope, and off it went again. It was last seen traveling over the Atlantic by some fishermen.

Since Denis found the blimp before I offered my reward, I decided to give him $250.00 for his photos anyway. But my original reward offer stands.

Here's what Denis found hovering in his backyard. You can imagine his surprise!
