Day 6, Sunday, May 28, 2023 Today was supposed to be race day BUT, the rain got in the way again.

I think we spent theContinue reading “Rain, Rain, Go AWAY!”

History Meets Modern Day
Days 4 & 5, May 26 & 27, 2023 The last couple of days have been a mix of super busy and then super relaxing & then super anxious & then doing it all over again. I guess that’s what you get when you are at an event that is outside and therefore completely reliantContinue reading “History Meets Modern Day”
We Geeked Out!
Thursday, May 25, 2023 Today was the day JB has been looking forward to the most. We got a behind-the-scenes tour of Richard Childress Racing (RCR) and it did not disappoint. For those unfamiliar with NASCAR history, Dale Earnhardt raced for RCR for most of his career and he won 6 of his 7 cupContinue reading “We Geeked Out!”
We’ve Arrived!
Travel Day & Arrival Day, May 24, 2023 We made it! We arrived at Charlotte Motor Speedway around 3 pm this afternoon. Again, we were thankful for an easy, no-issues, travel day. We left our campground by 6:30 am, knowing that we’d be crossing time zones and would lose an hour fairly quickly. We startedContinue reading “We’ve Arrived!”

Petrified Forest National Park

Big Trees and Deep Canyons
Wandering West, Day 13, July 6, 2021 Today we visited Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Park. I will admit, during the planning phase of this trip these parks have confused me. Everything I was reading was saying you could easily see both of these parks in the same day, yet they offer vastlyContinue reading “Big Trees and Deep Canyons”
