A herd of cows wound up on the wrong (road) side of a ranch fence, and cowboys on horseback were rounding them up to get them back on the right side of the fence. The herd was off the road by the time I drove by, but it was still pretty amusing. Apparently, when one cow decides to do something, the others will follow. So there&#8217;s no such thing as a &#8220;small&#8221; escape.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.atomacrossamerica.org\/yell-cows.jpg\" alt=\"Cows on the loose!\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My clothes are relatively warm (though I didn&#8217;t have my heavy coat on), but the big problem is my ears. Despite having a closed-face helmet, there&#8217;s enough airflow in there that my ears were getting very cold. There was originally foam around the visor, but that has flaked away over time, and now there is apparently a big enough gap for lots of cold air to get in. There&#8217;s a motorcycle shop in town, and I&#8217;ll see if there&#8217;s anything they can do tomorrow (Monday).<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Monday, there&#8217;s a 20% chance of rain and the high is only going to be 63 degrees. Tuesday will be even colder at 61. Then the temperatures are supposed to rise a bit, with 68 on Wednesday and 70 on Thursday (when I&#8217;m leaving).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll decide whether I&#8217;ll risk the cold in Bighorn later on&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight I&#8217;m in West Yellowstone.
