March 24 – Drive to Martinsville VA

We left about 7:54 am with the temperature only 5C.  As we drove through Georgia, we noticed numerous trees loaded with white flowers – wonder if they are pecan trees?  Today we covered 4 states:  Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and into Virginia.  The scenery was much like Ontario but the foliage was about a month in advance.  We stopped along the way to shop at Camping World, fill up with gas and propane as we will be boondocking for 5 days at the Speedway.  The weather when we arrived in Martinsville at 4:30 pm was a sunny 22C – yeah, into our shorts and t-shirts for a few hours!  We visited around, chatting with fellow Ontarians who are avid fans of NASCAR.  They attend all the eastern events!
