Today is a good day for a laugh. Some of the Gold Rush stories are true, but also very funny, too. There was a man named Pete from the Pacific Islands who found out about hot air balloons. It was his plan to sail home in the Pacific by a homemade hot air balloon. He did a good job of making the balloon, and even got the balloon in the air, but he did not land on a Pacific Island. He landed in a Sierra Neveda tree. Tune in for this charming true tale.
