COVINGTON, Va. – A balloon with an inspirational message made an incredible journey to the Alleghany Highlands this month.
Ricky Barnett and his son Skyler discovered the balloon on a hike near their Covington home. Thanks to an e-mail address inscribed on the balloon, they discovered it was launched near Houston, Texas more than a thousand miles away from Covington.
“This is our shooting star,” Barnett said. “This balloon has been a great inspiration to me and my family. It’s drawn us together in the last few days. It shows there is hope.”
