Thread: Northern Nevada- The stuck 4Runner rescue being watched around the world...

  1. #1
    It started last Saturday at 4pm with a Facebook post. Some guy off roading got stuck out near Black Rock/Gerlach. He posted on Facebook with his coordinates, update of food, location and the now famous photo. The story and pics have been shared around the world and people are cheering him on from German, Australia and South Africa. Some rescuers are coming from Washington, Oregon and locally. More updates and a timeline in the links below...

    Not really as he made it pretty far, did not know and was a responsible roader prior in his postings, he just got caught right there.

    People who go mudding are generally VERY intelligent. Some of the ideas about getting him out are pretty creative for sure.

    You should probably try and read the whole story first before commenting.

    He admits to making a mistake, doesnt mean he is "retarded" as posted above. I reviewed his other posts and the others agree, he was doing a good job roading and making good decisions, he just got caught in a place he wasnt familiar. I am not sharing this story so members here can bag on him.

    Hopefully Druff will cover this story on the PFA show.

    Ok.. We have a small group of very capable rigs going up Saturday for the playa rescue. At this point I think we have everything we need. I appreciate everyone’s concern and advice but I’m getting over whelmed with messages and notifications. We’ll keep everyone updated as we know more. Those of you that I’ve already spoken with please stay in touch. Thanks everyone for doing what you do and making this page what it is.

    I don't need to. The picture speaks a 1000 words. Anyone trying to make it across that expanse of mud in that rig is a retarded idiot. The fact that he got as far as he did is a testament to his retardardedness.

    Thats the typical ignorance of not reading the enclosed material.

    Did he at least have cell service there? I know he was posting somehow on Facebook, but it also seems like they had trouble communicating with him?

    It seems like he did. Gerlach is in Washoe County, so I assume he was ok on a signal.

    Good job to Druff for covering the story on the PFA show, he always tells the story just right.

    One last meme to share...
