Interest in a 4 Corners Recovery Group

[FordyceCreekTrail]

Vehicle Recovery groups are growing in the West and some great ones have been operating for a few years, such as on the Front Range of the Rockies. Both the growth of OHV as a hobby and the proliferation of AWD hatch back cars getting stuck off road in places they don't belong, has created a real demand for back country assistance where tow trucks will not go. One has loosely worked on and off in Albuquerque, but several folks are wanting to create something larger in the 4 corners area. Likely focused on San Juans and SE Utah Recovery. The idea is to volunteer to assist others who need un-stuck, remove broken or rolled vehicles removed from the wilderness. Saving potential emergency situations, and presenting a good image for our hobby. Obviously Power Wagons are the ultimate recovery rig. If you are interested let me know. Groups are forming on Face Book. Hoping to get a camp out and planning meeting together next year.

Vehicles don't go in wilderness (legally).
"Backcountry" is the word you're looking for. Big difference in land use issues.

And I think a helicopter would be the ultimate recovery rig.

CO4x4RNR is the big one out here that I know of. Should do one of their courses someday.
