At less than 300' elevation and fighting some strong cross winds, it was a thrilling sight

Laura saw a brief report on the news that your Airship would be at Long Beach, California for a promotional flight for the Disney movie "Up". We drove to the Long Beach Airport and found a policeman who directed us to a secret location not available to the public. We were not allowed on the grounds to witness the landings and "Up Ship" take-offs. As we were leaving the area after parking at the Boeing Aircraft Plant we saw the "Eureka" headed back to the landing site along a Southeasterly approach. We drove back to the fenced landing site and waited for the zeppelin to catch up to us. At less than 300' elevation and fighting some strong cross winds, it was a thrilling sight.
