What A BUMMER! (Closures At Custer State Park) & Elkhorn Ridge RV

[@AlliChuckAdventures]

Elkhorn and all the snow was so beautiful!!! Cold but beautiful!!!

[@WanderingWagners]

Yes it was! South Dakota never disappoints... Except with road closures🤣

[@allisonpowell501]

We had such a great time with y’all and the Thanksgiving/New years feast was so tasty!! I enjoyed watching how you cooked it all. A lot of work and love went into that! ❤

[@WanderingWagners]

I pretty much cooked the entire day while you guys were site seeing but I enjoy it and so happy you guys liked it! That would have been awkward if you guys were like mmm yeah I'm full😂😂

[@allisonpowell501]

Lol! No, we were definitely looking forward to it!

[@danmize5106]

One of my absolute favorite places to visit in the SUMMER (haha), so pretty out there... really good motorcycle riding. I tell everyone if they have never been to the Black Hills that they need to check it out at least once. Great video thanks for sharing.. Mike cracked me up with the turkey comment! guessing that wasn't his first swig of wine. lol

[@WanderingWagners]

Yes it is! We love this area😊 Funny enough it probably was his first swig of wine😂😂😂

[@camperbum]

Very cool, y'all got together, Thanksgiving in the cold is awesome, when you're young lol, now I've moved theses places you've gone to the top of my bucket list, probably not in winter, it hurts my bones now that I'm older, 65 in February 😊

[@WanderingWagners]

We prefer Winter camping honestly! Less people, snow is so much better than rain, no bugs, beer stays cold, can hike forever without getting heat stroke😂 But we totally understand why people don't like it and that's good for us too🤣

[@camperbum]

@@WanderingWagners I love winter too, but my bones aren't letting me be in it for to long anymore, I used to run the north west for over 25 years, it sucks getting old.

[@musicman2001]

I just love you guys so fun and show us some cool places. That's right Mike never pull that turkey out to soon let it finish😂💗

[@WanderingWagners]

Haha glad you enjoyed it! We love to keep it light and joke like we do in real life😂

[@TNWisky7]

Glad You all had a Great New Year. Pray this New Year is a Blessed One. God Be With all of You.

You took some amazing "✨✨ Night Pictures" Mrs. Lynn. .. Gorgeous 🤩🤩..Custer Park is pretty but I bet it would be even prettier with ❄️..Thank goodness you decided to move on..Well y'all had a fun New Year.. Yep..Those 🦃jokes had me 🤣🤣🤣‼️Happy New Year Everyone 🍾 🥂🎉‼️❤😊

[@WanderingWagners]

Thank you! I think tht night pictures turned out pretty great😁 it was so still and cold that night but so beautiful! It was a bummer that there wasn't snow but we find more snow at our next destination in Deadwood!❄️❄️

[@thecoffeez]

Drove right past there today...... The Needles...... are stunning, but deadly in the winter time. Glad to discover your channel! :)

[@WanderingWagners]

That's awesome! We will have to go back another time before the roads close for the season. This was a quick stop and we'd really love to have a lot more time here to explore.

[@johnspoentgen9489]

Awesome Video. Always look forward to each adventure!

[@WanderingWagners]

Thank you😁 More to come!

[@boomersudden6257]

Great video Lynn. Even more fun having great friends to share it with.

[@WanderingWagners]

Thank you! It was a lot of fun to meet up with our Florida friends and make them play in the snow with us❄️😂

[@roberthodgins5740]

great video guys,..,love the scenery esp. the stary skies pics you took beautiful gotta love a clear stary skie on a chilly night. That thanksgiving meal looked great too bad can't scratch n sniff my screen haha..

[@WanderingWagners]

Thanks for the comment! The clear skies were beautiful and I'm glad they pictures turned out well✨ the new years meal was a great way to start the new year that's for sure😋

[@dougdoris8622]

We love visiting South Dakota but have never been there in the winter. Great video!

[@WanderingWagners]

Thanks! We really enjoyed getting to see south Dakota in the Winter vs spring and summer that we've seen before.

[@AngelaNelson-e7w]

You should go to hill city sd then sylvan lake...you can hike on the needles highway from the road closure sign the first tunnel is about 1 mile in and you will walk past the trailhead for little devils tower on the way! I love the needles highway in the winter....so peaceful and nobody hurrying you along

[@WanderingWagners]

Good to know! Thank you! We wanted to do some hikes but it ended up ok because Piper isn't allowed to do hiking, just walks. Now we need to go back! It seemed like every way we turned another road was closed so we gave up and just walked at the campground

[@duaneleach131]

We are from NW Iowa and stay at Elkhorn ridge almost every summer. It’s an awesome park.

[@WanderingWagners]

We loved it as well! I'm sure it's VERY popular in the Summer

[@arkansastraveler7698]

Back in my flying days, we landed at Ellsworth AF at Rapid City and wind chill was -75. I prefer our southern cornbread dressing.

[@WanderingWagners]

It was actually pretty decent weather for us! We were expecting much colder weather actually😊

[@ricklowers8873]

While I realize you’re probably out of the Hills by the time you see this; I’ll give you a couple of our favorites from our last trip there. We love the hills BTW and have been multiple times. First, in Hill City, the Bumpin’ Buffalo Bar & Grill for their Bison burger & “Don’t pet the Fluffy Cows” sweatshirt. Second, had a fantastic trout sandwich at the Latchstring restaurant (10619 Roughlock Falls Rd) and third (but not least), the Chuck Wagon Supper Show (The Stables at Palmer Gulch). They served steaks to order and the absolute BEST baked beans (bacon, steak & special seasoning that you gotta taste to believe) I’ve ever had…so good that that’s the thing I had 3rds of. Thanks for another great video!

[@WanderingWagners]

Thanks for the tips and info! I'm positive we will be back in this area before too long😁

[@toddramsay977]

The hikes you go on, it would take me double time with my knee injuries. Jumping out of perfectly good airplanes in the military does that. At least it helped save some people, when we jumped into Kuwait and freed them from Iraq back in 1991. So I am not complaining. Love your videos.

[@WanderingWagners]

Doesn't matter how long it takes you, as long as you're still moving onward!

[@AlliChuckAdventures]

Man Mike was working hard to shovel our snow!!! We owe him another Jager shot!

[@WanderingWagners]

With our tiny shovel no less🤣

[@AlliChuckAdventures]

@@WanderingWagners it’s not the size of the shovel…🤣

[@steveadams1999]

We go to CSP every year it’s funny you stayed at the same spot we did last summer.

[@WanderingWagners]

We had a bunch of sites to pick from😜 but the only campground open in the park was this one so at least that part was easy haha

[@OldManandtheSuperC]

We live at the southern end of the Rockies. The Forest service closes a lot of campgrounds and roads in the winter. Seems search and rescue has enough to do already.

[@WanderingWagners]

Yeah, we figured but honestly thought they'd close them similar to the interstates... When weather turned. Oh well! We will just have to return when it's still open another time😁

[@LuvSubbin]

We are loving your winter camping series! We traveled out that way this summer and expected to see wild Bison like cows in Vermont. Sadly, the only ones we saw were at the Bison Museum Harvest Host. Oh well, better than nothing. We had Bison burgers that night...

[@WanderingWagners]

Thanks, guys!❄️😁 We finally got to see some bison but all the pictures and brochures showed a lot more in the area haha the park is huge so I'm sure we were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. We did find A LOT of their poo patties though💩

[@walterrafolski5662]

[@davidcline9547]

Great vid guys! Love the attention getter recap! Lol glad you guys didn't run into bad roads!!

[@WanderingWagners]

Roads were great, minus being closed☹️ that really sucked because we were really wanting to explore so much more but I guess that means we will have to go back!

[@davidcline9547]

@WanderingWagners the tunnels are cool, and there are some good turnouts along the way for pics. Travel safe, love the vids! You and Mike seem like really fun people!

Thank you and happy 2024 to you as well!🎉 We are happy to be back on the road now that Mike's fully recovered👏🏻😁

[@toddramsay977]

Usually the Custer S.P. keep tabs on posts where the bison and antelope are in 5he park. I thought they did that year around, but maybe not.

[@WanderingWagners]

They probably do but we weren't aware haha the park is HUGE so they could have been anywhere and we couldn't drive throughout the whole park due to road closures

[@toddramsay977]

Notice how small the bison are, compared to Bison in Wyoming or Yellowstone. These are farmed bison, not wild bison! They may be a different species of bison though if they are wild.

[@WanderingWagners]

These were adolescent

[@jerrysmith7477]

I am a single and make normally 4 hamburgers each time I cook. I charcoal and then vacuum seal the left over 3 and freeze them. I thaw and microwave them as I want a burger so I don’t have to get the charcoal and grill out each time I want a burger. Just don’t over cook them and they will stay juice in the microwave.

[@WanderingWagners]

That's a great idea!👏🏻👏🏻

[@crainfamily4140]

where did you get that thing you cooked the pie on ? It has orange tips on the bottom.(sorry i don’t know what its called)

[@WanderingWagners]

It came with the convection oven/microwave. It's a metal turntable I use often so things turn and cook evenly in the oven

No winter camping allowed at Hardin Ridge here in Monroe County, Indiana. Not for sure when this happened, but it had to be within the past 4 years.

[@WanderingWagners]

It's always unfortunate when campgrounds don't remain open year round, especially if they just offer electric.

[@RVHelper]

Curious, how is your T-Mobile Home Internet box working on your travels out west?

[@WanderingWagners]

Worked great! Some areas worse than normal but overall we never didn't have wifi. We forgot to do our usual cell readings as usual a few places

[@RVHelper]

@@WanderingWagners thanks, I just picked up one at the Dayton-Cincinnati RV Show on Sunday. Every Ohio State park I looked at on the coverage map looked like it was covered. If it works out for me, I can work out of camper and we can do more camping. Yay!

@@RVHelper We have been camping / traveling with the T-Mobile home internet for 2 years now. Absolutely love it... Only been a few places out west that didnt have good / decent service (but neither did our VZ phones... they were pretty much dead zones).
