Random acts of kindness

Last night the call came in; help the ATV won't start and we are down in the beach and darkness is coming! The beach in question was an inaccessible road to traffic other than on foot or ATV's. Of course someone decided to try to drive down and rescue our kids; going down was not the issue; coming up was! I made a phone call after taking the ATV up and out for help! Now our car was stranded! My friend called her friends who came with a 4 wheel drive vehicle to pull us out. That was not happening since once they came down they could not get back up either! So without blinking an eye they got out of their vehicle and started building a road from rocks that they began to scrounge around and find! It took hours to do this and they never gave up until they made this highly dangerous road somewhat driveable for a 4x4! Once they were up they then continued until they could drive our car out! Just watching their cheerful disposition as they worked diligently to get us up and out safely was so inspiring! People just don't do that anymore! Or so I thought; before this saga began another complete stranger came from out of the dark with a portable charger for the ATV to see if he could help! It was just amazing to be surrounded by people who wanted to help just because that is what you do. While we were trying to call for help and then wait for them, to show the way, another person just up and comes out to see if we needed help! They operate the Coco Loco restaurant on the road to our disaster! They opened their business and turned on the lights so our rescue team could find us in the darkness of the desert! They also refused payment for our beverages and were just grateful we made it out! So we shall continue the cycle and pay it forward by referring everyone we know to their businesses and remember them in our prayers for years to come! What could have been potentially a very expensive loss turned into an adventure in which we met some incredible people and were reminded that kindness still exsists in our world!
