While traveling home from Alaska to Montana we were in British Columbia earlier this month when we had two of three flat tires on our fifth-wheel travel trailer.
On Aug. 4 we had stopped in Prince George where the supervisor at Canadian Tire refused to mount and change tires for us. Rather than search through a city we were unfamiliar with, we decided to go on to Quesnel to get tires there. Unfortunately we had a third tire blow-out shortly after heading south from Prince George, in a high traffic area between ongoing construction on the highway.
My husband pulled a muscle in his arm while changing the previous flat tire, and wasn't even sure he could lift the tire onto the lug bolts, but we were in the process of getting the tire changed as quickly as possible so as not to create a hazard, when two wonderful gentlemen stopped to help.
They stepped right in and did all the hard work of lifting blocks and tires, and accomplished the task in quick order.
Like true Good Samaritans, they refused payment and unfortunately we did not get their names.
It is our hope that these two unlikely looking angels sent from God to help a couple from Montana are reading this letter, thanking them for their time, their instinctive willingness to come to the aid of someone in need.
They may rest assured that we will repay their kindness forward, helping someone else when we see the opportunity.
In general, we have found Canadians to be gracious hosts when we have traveled in the provinces, and this was proof positive that good people are to be found everywhere.
Again, thank you to these two good men.
