Rapid City SD to Bald Mountain Wyoming
346 Miles

	The ride up the Bighorn Mountains got cool pretty fast. At the split for 14A and 14 I took the alternate route and stopped at a lodge. I picked up a soda and looked around. They didn't have an ATM and I was down to 10 bucks. I hoped that camping here wasn't going to cost more than 10.
	I checked out the jewelry seeing something that I liked but didn't know if Rita would like it. Since it was almost $200 I decided that if I got it for her and she didn't like it, I'd be yelled at ;-) so I didn't get it.
	I headed up Rt 14A and finally stopped at the foot of Bald Mountain at a camping spot. I set up my tent breathing heavily due to the height, paid the $10 (woo-hoo) and got ready for bed. Unfortunately there were three kids playing in the woods. I was reading and looking out of the tent at them running by. Eventually they said "how long as the bike been there". I guess they just realized I was camped there. They seemed a little considerate since they ran off towards their camping area.
	The place was fenced off since there were free range cattle roaming around. In the night I heard the moos but I also heard some wacky animal sounds. I thought they might have been the Bighorn sheep or something. Later on I realized they were coming from the cows. I could almost make out the words "get out! they're going to turn you into hamburger". Maybe he was warning the other cows :-)
