    I know this is a long shot but i’m on a trail off highway 168 near china peak and my truck is starting to slide down the mountain in mud. i have nothing but a shovel and have no idea what i should do. if anyone is near or knows of any recovery service around me i would be so appreciative. thank you all for looking. any advice would be greatly welcomed too, i’ll include pictures in a sec

    Have you checked for a 4x4 Recovery group in your area on Facebook? I used one yesterday to get pulled out of the middle of nowhere. People are pretty awesome.
