I did this years ago but I guess no-one found it. My daughter did put a note and her address on a balloon when she was little and a couple of years later she got a letter in the mail of the one who found it with some pictures.

....does anyone have a story?

No, I have never done this, but it sounds like something that I would like to try. I think that I will.

I want to try it again, it is exciting to see what happens. Good luck if you do it !!

Never did this. But your post reminded me of the story of Laura Buxton. Full story is linked there, but the short version = a 10 year old girl launched a helium balloon with her name and address on it and it was eventually found 140 miles away by another 10 year old girl with the exact same name - Laura Buxton. They made contact and have become very close friends as a result of this coincidence.

It's a crazy enough story - it was mentioned during the third season of the TV show Fargo which was how I became aware of it.

I haven't as to date, but I would. Sounds fun and it's nice to reconnect to people through such circumstances.

No but I would definitely keep it in mind as a way to communicate depending on the circumstances.

With the way the postal service is screwing up,i certainly would consider it.

Plus its free.

I never have, but it would be interesting to see if anything happened with it.

I would never do that in today's world. There are just too many evil people populated in this world now.

ghunter · « **Reply #10 on:** July 07, 2021, 06:02:17 am »

No, I would never do it because no one would ever get it

No, please don't litter.

Donnamarg323 · « **Reply #12 on:** July 07, 2021, 08:02:44 am »

Maybe if we put some chlorine in the bottle with the note it wouldnt exactly be littering.

What mankind has already done to the air and water on this planet and cutting down the forests,maybe a bottle as i suggested whats in it might not do too much damage.....LOL!!
