In Mullen, ID, my only auto service option was a guy down at the Exxon station who changes oil and tires, and wouldn't be able to get to me until afternoon. So I drove on to Missoula, where they told me I'd bent a wheel and would have to replace it. Nobody in Missoula had a suitable wheel in stock, though, so they did what they could to unbend mine, moved it to the back so it wouldn't pull on the steering wheel, and sent me on my way (to the Super 8, because by then it was too late to bother resuming the drive).

Today my goal is Glendive, MT. Montana is one of only three states I've ever driven all day across and still been in. But with luck I can make it farther today, and get to Dickinson, ND, where the Super 8 has wi-fi.
