Lawn Chair Balloon Flight Forced to Land Early Due to Weather
by Caryn Little


BEND, O.R.--A lawn-chair balloon flight was anything but smooth for two guys in Oregon. 

The men were forced to crash land when their contraptions hit stormy weather.  The balloonists were pelted by hail and snow. 

The guys were okay, but the balloon-chairs floated away, taking off with their prized BB gun. 

The guys say it might be a while before they go back up.  The unique hobby is for a good cause. 

Proceeds from the balloon events go to their foundation for orphans in Iraq.
