We have been on both sides of the Good Samaritan coin. Can't tell you how many families in 2 wheel drive we have pulled from the beach! Not to mention the several times we have come across an accident and either called for help or waited until help arrived, all the while giving the accident victims blankets or what have you. We have received the best payment of all from any of these incidents...a warm, genuine and gracious smile. We have also received help, or at least had people stop and offer it. There isn't much we aren't prepared for on our trips, but someone always stops if we are stuck on the side of the road. We've even had families offer us their homes to sleep in or their yard to camp in when we have found ourselves far from our destination and in the dark. We've only had good experiences, but we are not naive to the fact that bad ones do happen. We are prepared for those as well :)
