Just as my last balloon finally lost its air (I've actually had it in my apartment all this time).
Fragment of balloon, no string, west of Whyte Lake on Sunday (Feb 8)

| Not meaning to sound greedy or anything, but shouldn't I have gotten 6 points on the first baloon because it had a ribbon attached? I'll grand that it wasn't fully inflated, only somewhat mushy, so it shouldn't have gotten more than 6 points. |

On Burke on way out (on mountain bike trail). I wasn't even sure if this was a balloon at first. Rectangular, mylar, no sign of any string. Happy Birthday!

Ha, Ha, HA!!! Found four more Mick.
Three together, two with air or gas and the blue one broken.
All have ribbons too. Found on Isolillock.
Found a party balloon with air or gas in it and ribbon just off the old mining road between the two mines on Silver.

Fragment, tied to fishing line or invisible thread. On the Burke Connector, today.
I also saw what looked like an inflatable water toy, a ring of some sort (= big balloon?) by the river on the way out. It was too big to carry out, assuming it was garbage. |
