Flight from Oregon to Idaho in lawn chair

A 47-year-old Oregon man took his lawn chair up to 13,000 feet and almost landed in Idaho.

He was able to fly 193 miles at 13,000 feet by attaching 105 balloons to his lawn chair, each 4 feet round, in an attempt to fly from Bend, Oregon to Idaho

Bundled together, the 105 balloons rose three stories high.

He didn’t quite make it to Idaho. The lawn chair landed in a farmer's field in Eastern Oregon

The lawn chair pilot carried with him a global positioning system device, a two-way radio, a digital camcorder and a cell phone. No mention of a parachute.
