Friday, January 31st, 2025, at 4:07 p.m. (PT), we received a request for help with an off-road recovery in Oregon. The requester, Juan L, submitted the following information: “2009 GMC Sierra 2WD stuck in the loose rocks at the wheatland ferry / I’m 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 10-mile radius.
Within the first five minutes of releasing the request to volunteers, Will Conley stepped up to handle the recovery. He was just 20 minutes away. Although In this case, we didn’t receive any information from the volunteer in charge. Less than an hour later, Will successfully completed the request. Everything went smoothly.
We appreciate Will’s help, as well as the support of all the other volunteers who offered their assistance in this off-road recovery in Oregon.
