4Runner, stuck in the ditch in the snow

Tuesday, December 10th, 2024, at 7:03 a.m. (PT), we received a request for help with an offroad recovery in Washington. The requester, Drake Pinkey, submitted the following information: “1992 Toyota 4Runner, Green, 4×4, Vehicle runs but is stuck in the ditch. Probably about a foot of snow at the location, but little snow most of the way up the road. / I’m not with the vehicle“

Our administrator, Al Fontan, contacted the requester and verified the contact information provided, GPS location, and current situation before sending the request to local volunteers. In this particular recovery, we contacted volunteers within a 60-mile radius.

By 8:05 a.m., Benjamin from our friends at the WORN organization was working to find volunteers on their side.

By 11:15 a.m., Benjamin had a team deployed, and by 3:07 p.m., the request was successfully closed. The vehicle was recovered.

We want to extend our gratitude once again to WORN for the incredible work they do in the Washington area. Thanks, guys, for the help with this offroad recovery in Washington.
