Chile Challenge 2012 - Day #3 - Box Canyon


While we aired down for the trail T34C's flew around and around doing touch and goes on the adjacent runway.

Box Canyon was our day #3,  
This driver used a different line to join the rest of us.
Pretty neat


1942 Dodge Power Wagon

Walking down to see this obstacle and decide if, and if so, which line to take.

Photos don't do this justice.  It definitely was tricky.



The camera really flattens these landscapes.


Going back up was a least as big a challenge.

This brand new Jeep with only 600 miles on it is driven by an Army Ranger.

He doesn't have lockers yet and the Jeep is pretty much stock.
Chris took a different line than the others and had to really
work at getting back up.
With grit and determination.....and dirt and rocks flying.




While the hill is steep, the real challenge is the ledge at the top. 
Our turn....




Several participants this day were fellows from the local Army Base.
The friends have all served our nation for nearly 10 years .
Thanks, guys!
We appreciate your service more than we can say.
Be safe!
