Once out of Cuidad Juarez, the northern part of the state takes on a look of desert scrub land that begins to show mountains before too long. As you get closer to Cuidad Chihuahua, things begin to get more arid and agricultural. I'm a desert guy, so I like the look of it. I know for some, you've seen one desert, you've seen them all.
Our trip down was about a four hour ride that went from late afternoon into evening. There's a reason that folks tell you not to drive in Mexico at night, not just because of animals on the road but the humanity walking around. Somebody could get killed out there! I should tell you that Rick and I had been joined by young pal Logan Wilson, one of the mechanics at North Bay Bavarian. This was his first trip south of the border, or over any border, I think. That's why we had him driving, those youthful eyes see all! 
I'd done a little homework about the layout of the city, and knew our hotel was toward the west, that's the way we went, and by God, we found it on the first pass.
Our destination was the Hotel Weston Sobrano, and from the looks of it, was the fanciest place in town. We arrived about 9pm with the parking lot half filled with race cars, trailers and tow vehicles. There were a few of the drivers and navigators around, so we said our hellos, but it had been a long day, we were ready for bed.
The next day would be for tech inspection and to get ready for the first day of racing on Friday.
