On to Richmond VA and then home

Tuesday April 9th we drove 191 miles to the campground at the Richmond Raceway in Virginia.  Our fees included a spot for $200 whether you stayed 1 day or 5 days.  We made the most of it by camping there from Tuesday to Sunday.

On Thursday we drove about 50 miles to the Virginia Motor Speedway in Jamaica, Virginia to watch Tony Stewart in the Sprint class races.  It was very cool and windy that evening causing us to buy hoodies to keep our heads warm.

The weather had been rainy off and on most of the week but luckily it was only a light sprinkle of rain on Friday night for the NASCAR Xfinity racing.

Similarly on Saturday the rain held off for the evening race of the NASCAR Monster Energy class.

Sunday April 14th we left the Richmond Raceway with weather a nice 20C.  By 5 pm we reached the Walmart in Mansfield, Pennsylvania where it was only 13C.  We had nice view of 6 deer feeding on the hillside behind the Walmart.

Monday April 15th we left Mansfield to head home.  The weather was cool and rainy until we neared Buffalo with the precipitation turned to snow flurries.  At 2C it was mild enough for the flurries to melt as they hit the ground. We were at the Peace Bridge by 11:17 am with no line up so were through customs within 5 minutes and arrived home at 1:25 pm to weather of 4C.  Brrrrr......
