Day 14 – 2013-07-22, Monday – Rapid City, SD to Cheyenne, WY

Alright, broke camp early because it was going to be a long drive. Not too bad, at least we gained an hour going into Mountain Time. Had lunch along the way, a quite good burger.

Mid-afternoon, we pulled into Curt Gowdy State Park and set up camp. Water and electric. Well … you have to walk about 80 feet to the water spigot, but it’s by the bathrooms (no water, pit toilet. Hmmmm … this is looking worse by the minute!). But … the park is stunningly beautiful, and that kind of makes up for it a bit.

This is our view from the front door:

Of course, there’s always a downside – while they have a fire ring with a grill so we can cook our fish tonight, this is what the previous tenants left us with:

Why yes, that IS a dirty diaper you see in there. Maybe we’ll go into town for dinner.

Ok, went into town to see an old co-worker of mine, Dan Bond, back from the old Kodak days, checking out his gym, 007 Extreme Fitness. Cool place! If you need a gym and you’re in Cheyenne, go see Dan, either he or his wife Karen will fix you up!

We did go into town for dinner, and tried out Poor Richard’s … Well, we walked in, saw the menu, and decided we did not want to spend a small fortune for dinner, so we walked right back out again. Poor Richard’s? Nope, sorry – at those prices, no way in hell Richard is still poor!

Tomorrow, we ride!
