A man flying across Oregon in a lawn chair rigged with helium-filled balloons has reached his destination.

A reporter tracking Kent Couch for the Oregonian newspaper says he landed safely near Cambridge, Idaho, on Saturday afternoon.

The 48-year-old lifted off at dawn from his gas station in Bend, Ore., and flew with the wind at about 20 mph.

It was Couch’s third try at the journey.
