My camper van broke down

Thursday, February 20th, 2025, at 3:31 a.m. (MT), we received a request for help with an offroad recovery in Arizona. The requester, Dean Tucker, submitted the following information: “My camper van broke down. I’m currently 1/2 mile off Bates Well Rd, and approximately 3 miles from the intersection of Hwy 85 and Darby Well Rd. I only need to move about 1 1/2 miles from where I’m at. / I’m with the vehicle / I can help cover the cost of fuel.”

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 90-mile radius.

From the group of contacted volunteers we had David Kupitz taking over the recovery and jumping into action almost right away.

David drove over and a few hours later, without any incidents he updated our lobby, stating, he got the van dragged out to pavement.

We want to thank David for his help. As always Arizona volunteers rock. (offroad recovery in Arizona)
