(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.
