Big Wheel Keep On Turning

“Never good when your trailer tire passes you at 60 mph … Hello Thompson Falls Les Schwab!” — Erica Curless/Facebook.

Back Story: Erica left area for Billings at 5:30 a.m. for a heifer sale. Earlier she’d written than Montana temperatures “make here look tropical. Coveralls packed. Sorrels packed. Wool everything packed. Why do I like pretending I’m a rancher? Because it’s the best, even when arctic air hits cow country. ” She couldn’t find tire help in Thompson Falls. So she limped to Missoula Les Schwab minus a trailer tire. Posts Erica: “At least it’s a balmy 9 degrees. ” She eventually made it to Manhattan (minus-4) and then to Billings.

Question: When did you last have a road trip in which you had vehicle problems?
