Day Nine

Driving about 5mph in most places. Bad roads. Broke a hitch and made it to the next town to repair. When they arrived at the small town just outside of Tampico, the local firefighters were standing outside their station asking the public for money to buy EMS supplies. They identified themselves as 4 paramedics. They helped the guys repair the hitch. Jeff left them with a Brave business card and some supplies: 1 backboard, several c-collars and a bag of bandages. The Mexican ffs were very grateful. Jeff said that it's the hardest thing to drive by another dept in need with a truck full of supplies. Jeff said that he saw what they had and it was nothing.
Thank you to the Mexican FF for helping our group get back on the road! Right now they are about 120km N of Vera Cruz.
