RECENT STORIES

(Black Rock Desert) Aka Gerlach Area, Also Aka THE PLAYA

On Thursday Evening at Approximately 8:30 PM PST Our dispatch team Received a Call of a Bus Stuck out on the Playa. (Black Rock Desert) Aka Gerlach Area. The Vehicle owner had reached out to someone previously who had attempted to get the bus out but had broken equipment 3 times and caused damage to the owners vehicle before finally deciding to call for additional support. Our Dispatch team took the information from the VO and asked if they had food, water, shelter, and necessities to hold them over for the evening until the morning. The VO informed the dispatcher that they were good to camp the evening where they were. Our Team formulated a plan Thursday evening with plans to head out the next morning. at 6:30 AM Our Zone 6 Captain From Winnemucca Left His Home enroute to Wadsworth where he would meet up later on with our Vice President from Dayton. They Proceeded To head to Gerlach And meet up with the VO. Once they made it to Gerlach they met with the vehicle owner as well as some local help who wanted to observe the process. Once on the Playa our team assessed the circumstances and put the plan in place. They spent a good hour digging mud out so that the bus could be pulled back to solid ground. the Work completed after digging the wheels out was rigging and eventually 3 vehicles being involved in the process. Once the Bus was pulled off the playa they were able to get back on solid ground. We would like to thank all of our team members involved in this recovery process From the beginning last night to mid day early afternoon. Please remember that 775 Off Road Recovery is a non profit and The majority of our calls are not paid for by people calling for help. our members Pay for fuel, maintenance, etc. out of their own pockets to make sure people can get home safely at the end of the day.

The Sheriffs office had informed the dispatcher that they went to get someone out who was stuck near Crystal peak and after they had picked the Vehicle Owner up without the Vehicle and were on their Way back to pavement when their Drive terrain Locked up and they were unable to proceed. Our Dispatcher took the information and paged out a request for assistance. Within 15 minutes we had a team member From Dayton Enroute to the site. within the next hour another team Member from Cold Springs and another one from NW Reno joined the call. Our Team Members arrived on site and assessed the situation. It was determined that the Vehicle would not be drivable and would have to be towed to the pavement. Our Team Members carefully removed the Drive line from the Sheriffs Vehicle to allow the wheels to turn on the trail freely. Once everyone Arrived at the pavement the Sheriffs deputies were able to call for a tow. We would like to Thank All of Our Volunteers who answer these calls (Both Dispatchers, and Individuals who go out on calls in the middle of the night) Rain, Snow, or Shine.

Next to Little Dear Lake

Late into the evening last night we received a call. Some adventurous young lads who got in a little to deep. About 4 miles off road, about 15 miles out of service. Located right next to Little Dear Lake in Sierra County CA was this lone Tacoma and 10 friends! Our recovery member and his passenger drove 2 hours from Reno at 9pm. Got on trail around 11pm. Already miles past phone service they were running off multiple offline GPS maps, including Google, OnX, and Gaia. Running into closed gates and finding people walking the trail. Lucky for them its who they were looking for in the first place. After GPS Maps and the guidance of the stragglers picked up they found the vehicle that was stuck! its now 1145pm. Its dark and they have 2 hours of rough forest trails to get out. Loaded up both trucks with everyone accounted for our team member guided and recovered these friends. After returning them to camp and airing up their vehicle for them. They snapped a photo, shook hands and were on their way back home to Reno! at 3AM! Late bed time but never sore moods.

TESTIMONIALS

"Got myself stuck, called 775 and they came out the same night! They pulled me out of the ditch, and were very friendly and helpful the whole time. These guys are the real deal."
"Wanted to shout out Ralph and this amazing volunteer organization. My wife put the wrong black rock on her maps (desert instead of city) and got stuck way out by Sulphur on way to burning man. 911 wouldn’t help, and no tow truck wanted to come. Luckily the tow truck lady told me to look for 4x4 Nevada rescues on Facebook. We were really freaked out and this could have been dangerous, but this group came and pulled her out. She’s at burning man now telling everyone about the wonderful 775 off-road recovery groups. Making a $$$ Donation as well. Thanks again, I’m so appreciative and inspired by you all."
"After a couple of very long days I don’t hardly know where to start. Thank you to everyone who reached out and asked how we were doing yesterday! And a huge shoutout to 775 Offroad & Recovery, a non-profit community organization for going to get our bikes. We were riding outside of Markleeville and had gotten turned around, we were 34 miles into the ride and it turns out we had another 16 to get back to the trucks.. my father in law was somehow able to find his way back to the trucks once the sun went down and Uncle Mickey my Nina Christina and John found him on their way looking for Cass and myself. Cass and I stayed on the trail where Jim knew where we were, my uncle, cousin, and John were out looking for us in my uncles truck from 10pm until the next morning but the truck couldn’t make it to us. The next morning (Sunday) they were able to get ahold of 911 and the sheriffs and we were able to get coordinates to them. Cass just couldn’t ride anymore. We were out of water and had no food, luckily I had my first aid kit with me and we used the emergency blanket from that to help stay half warm. Sorry this post is all over the place. Sunday morning CHP was able to get a chopper in the air and flew us out one at a time. It was one hell of an experience that we won’t soon forget. We had a guardian angel or two watching over us Saturday night to say the least. We are all sore and beat up but in one piece. The bikes took the real beating. We appreciate everyone’s thoughts and prayers just a couple hurt egos that have to heal at this point 🤙🏼🤙🏼."
"Our college son and his 9 other friends were on an adventure camping trip from southern CA to Oregon. Late into the evening of July 31st, they got stuck about 4 miles off road, 15 miles out of service. Located right next to Little Dear Lake in Sierra County CA.Someone they called has recommended 775 Offroad and Recovery. A rescue crew of 2 drove 2 hours from Reno NV area and rescued the stuck Tacoma and the young lads. We couldn't express enough thanks to these rescue folks!! Sincere appreciation from the bottom of our hearts!!"
