Tons O' Fun was originally designed to be an informational site about a proposed transcontinental flight acrossed the US back in the mid 90's. The flight never materialized as everyone was busy with work and raising families and the normal busy cycle that people tend to put themselves into. However, this site did survive as a point of information for balloonists. It has evolved from rather crude beginnings and is now in the process of being reborn into a new and exciting resource for serious balloonists.
