A long story, but we broke down on our trip to central Mexico in a little town of Cuba, New Mexico. Our “cam sensor” went out in my pickup. Within five minutes, I had people stopping to see if they could help. They looked under the hood, climbed under the truck, and eventually hooked up my trailer and took it across the street to the shop that would be open the following morning..Monday.
Triple A would tow my truck, but not my trailer. They then drove my wife, dog and I to the motel, a few miles down the road. The following morning they had gotten the replacement part, called me at our motel room, picked us up, and brought us back down the road to get back in our repaired pickup, and we headed on our way down the road to Albuquerque.
They came out of nowhere. Didn’t do it for a dime, but helped us out because they were decent, good people, and they saw we needed a helping hand. A fair price of around $200 had us back on the road. Reinstalled my faith in my fellow man.
This all happened on a reservation. The young man who ran us back and forth to the motel had a little 7-8 year old daughter in the van with him. We are on our way back down to Mexico again, and I have two Xerox boxes of picture books and paper back books from my 3rd grade classroom that I’m bringing to give to his daughter to share with her family and friends. Returning a favor...in my way.
