Roadside Assistance

This morning my guests took us out into a nearby village in order to enjoy a warm mineral spring. Afterwards we saw a camper van in distress. Yesterday Guelmim experienced rain. The river bed washed out the makeshift road that looked like it replaced a bridge that got washed out when the area experienced hard flooding a couple of years ago.

When we got there a collection of people had gathered to move rocks and push an RV that had been stuck in the river bed. A local shepherd even came down from his flocks on the hill to help out. Everyone was working in good spirits and solved the problem for the older French couple.

Bonus: my travel partner Travis was able to talk with the shepherd about his lifestyle. 

Have you been in a situation in which a group of strangers have helped you without asking for anything in return?
