2010 Chile Challenge: Las Cruces, New Mexico
Leave Your Buggy At Home?For over a decade, the Chile Challenge in Las Cruces, New Mexico, has maintained a reputation for offering some of the hardest wheeling in the country. And for nearly as long, the Las Cruces 4WD Club has been fighting land closures in the Robledo Mountains, where the event is held. In 2010, the Bureau of Land Management played a much larger role in the event, with BLM employees riding along on the trails and enforcing restrictions on tow rigs parked at the trailhead. The theory was that the tow rigs attracted locals who not only come out to watch, but also cause environmental damage since they are not as informed about land use issues as most Jeepers. With the added restrictions piled on top of an already weak economy, participation was down for this year's Chile Challenge.
