Default HELP Required WA State.

On my snow trip today, evans creek orv area/mt rainier National park, encountered a man walking in the blizzard who stranded his dodge 1500 truck lifted on 38's I believe? Anyway my stock jeep couldn't get up there to pull him out. A monster jeep would be needed. He's a nice guy so I said I'd post his plea for help to get his truck un-stuck. His name is Ron and his number is 253 632 5692.
