A hot air balloon on a local sight seeing flight was caught in unfavorable winds after takeoff last evening. This resulted in an unscheduled landing on a highway in the opposite direction of its intended landing sight. There was no damage to the aircraft or injuries to the four on board. Traffic on Highway 41 was affected for about 1/2 hour while the ground crew took the balloon apart for transport away from the sight.
