It wasn't just the rnlack of a shave that distinguished Tim DeChristopher from the other auction-goers. The 27-year-old Universityrnof Utah student was half the age of and twice as aggressive as most of the oil and gas company representatives who gathered in Salt Lake City late last December to bid on 131 parcels in a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) auction. He was also fiercely opposed to exploiting the redrock desert.rnMany of the parcels up for bid are adjacent to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, and 77 of them, totaling 103,000 acres, had been proposed for wilderness designation. But George W. Bush's BLM changed its resource-management plans, giving energy companies one last bonanza before the Obama administration took over.
