Saturday, May 11th, 2024, at 6:41 p.m. (PT), we received a request for help with an offroad recovery in Madras, Oregon. The requester, Max Mccord, submitted the following information: “2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, bogged down in the mud, possibly high centered. 🙁 4WD Lo, rear lockers, and toe hooks. Just need a good tug I think. We have food and supplies, gas, etc. / I’m with the vehicle.”
After receiving this request, within 5 minutes, we contacted Max and verified the contact information, GPS location, and situation before sending it to local volunteers within a 30-mile radius.
The first volunteer who took over the recovery was Tyler Lefebvre, but a few minutes later, Donald Claypool, who was much closer, offered help, so in the end, Don was the one who actually performed the recovery.
By 8:00 p.m. Donald marked the recovery closed. Unfortunately, we didn’t receive any notes or photos from the volunteer.
We want to thank Donald for taking care of this request and all other volunteers who responded to our call for help. Awesome job! (offroad recovery in Madras, Oregon)
