Sixto himself came to our rescue when our car broke down at the border patrol checkpoint heading out of Big Bend, Texas heading toward Alpine along 118.
It took a while to get to us, since he was coming from Marathon, but he was really friendly and a genuinely nice guy. Because we had AAA, the tow into Alpine didn't cost anything. We were driving a VW Jetta, which is apparently an incredibly difficult car to get fixed in smaller towns, but he called around to a few places on his phone for us and found one of his friends in Alpine who had a garage and was willing to work on our car.
If you have to break down in the middle of the desert, Sixto is the man to call. read more
