What Dario Escobar is up to becomes perfectly clear when you take the road along the Gulf of Mexico between Poza Rica and Casitas in the state of Veracruz. It`s not unusual to see convoys of odd couplings, mostly two cars, two trucks or even two yellow school buses hooked up together. The one in front does the pulling while the other one, following blindly and loaded with all sorts of tools and spare parts, passively plays the trailer.
