This Was A First For Us! (Ouabache State Park, IN)

- In this episode of Wandering Wagners we traveled in our @NeXusRV Wraith Super C RV to Ouabache State Park in Bluffton, Indiana where we were able to witness the Northern Lights, aka the Aurora Borealis!
It has been probably over 2 years since we last visited this park, and that was during the Winter and we were the only people in the park. We wanted to re-visit during the warmer months to see just how different it could be.
Watch our original stay here: • Jeep Sledding?! (Winte...
During this trip the Northern Lights were suppose to reach much further South than they normally do, so we went for a night walk with the dogs and were able to see some really awesome sights and get some amazing pictures!
We grilled up some burgers and steaks with our favorite seasoning from @grillaholics6290 and we tried their NEW Brazilian Steakhouse Rub on our steaks and really loved the added flavor it added!

We went on a hike and one of the cool attractions about this park is that they have a Bison enclosure! It reminded us of South Dakota where the only bison we saw, were in an enclosure haha
We both climbed the fire tower and found it to be both scary and beautiful.
Overall it was a great trip and we are so happy we decided to return!

"It'll make a turd" was an expression in our family. Did not realize it was well used.
haha! That's funny that your family says that too. Mike loves all the cool sayings LOL
Alot of little inuendos in this vid ... your killin it, Lynn. :)
haha! We are literally just being ourselves and sharing some of our humor with everyone for like minded/funny people- Thanks for the comment!
I love watching y'all, them steaks looked amazing! ❤and hugs to the pups!
Thank you😁🙌🏻 the steaks were amazing-we definitely ate well on this trip haha
Glad to see Piper is back to more of a normal routine. Yes, when camping, it does not take long to get to your daily activity level in 🙂. I hate heights, but love seeing those views, I do not know if I would prefer coming up the that kind of tower after dark over daytime, never have tried after dark. 🤔
It's great Piper is fully released from restrictions and can go all out again! She definitely loves that haha
We had a really great time here at this park. It was both relaxing and we got great exercise in together
Glad to see Piper back in full action and on her hikes again...Pipes wanted to go up the stairs as well haha. man you make some great food in your vids ..I cooked some Larry The Cable Guy hamburger helper it was great added some sour cream to it made it even better plus easy to cook
Piper was happy to have us all together on a hike again! They were worried about Mike going up in the fire tower haha
We definitely ate well this trip😋
I'm from Bluffton originally, and worked at Ouabache during summers in high school back in the 70s.
Very nice! We enjoy visiting this park and area
I kept thinking about the time it would take to get an ambulance there at night if Mike slipped and fell on the tower. I am becoming more risk averse in the last few weeks. Looked like a nice time. Burgers looked great!
We do say we like to live dangerously sometimes.
Burgers and steaks were delicious! We ate rather well this trip that's for sure
Great video, glad you guys had a good time. I am glad Piper is doing well.
Thank you! Piper is doing great and working on rebuilding that muscle lost. She's much happier being able to do all the things she loves again🐾😊
Gonna try that new seasoning 😋
and
Great to know that bikini season is finally here 🥳
We love pretty much all of their seasonings we've tried, hopefully you will too👏🏻
Bikini season is making a comeback haha
Don't worry about the pronunciation of the river. It's CZcams. Whether you pronounce it right or wrong, there'll be 300 experts commenting on how to "properly" say it... Great video as always.
Haha you are exactly correct about that! 🤣🤣
Mike, that’s my favorite saying, pisses my wife off but what the heck! Great video.
Haha! Great minds think alike
Great episode! We’re in Fort Wayne, and have been considering heading down there. You should try Chain ‘O Lake, too. Keep up the great work, happy camping!
we've been to chain o lakes probably 3x and really enjoy it! The parks around fort wayne we tend to visit fairly often because they aren't very far and always nice. We love Indiana state parks!
I'm too old to climb that tower night or day. Besides, the older I get the more heights bother me. Kudos to you both for the climb.
Can't blame you there! Luckily this one felt pretty sturdy compared to others we've been on
We were there 4/25-4/29. One of our favs!
nice! We enjoy this park a lot and happy we returned to see it when it wasn't the dead of winter
We were camping at chain o lakes during northern lights, was able too see them Friday and Saturday nights.
We have never seen them that clear before
Love chain of lakes too! We looked Saturday as well but they weren't nearly as bright as Friday
I expected to hear Guy crying when you were each up in the fire tower. 😂🐾❤️ Great video!
when Mike went up he still had residual drugs from travel in his system so he literally laid down haha! I'm positive he cried when Lynn was up there though!
@@WanderingWagners Lmao! He looked so cute when you first got there, lying on the ground with his “drugged out” eyes. I had a boxer many years ago so I always want to reach through the screen and grab their adorable faces!!
You guys have the best rv site I have ever seen on CZcams! Love you both! Keep it up and retire early!
Wow, thank you! We appreciate that🙌🏻😁 trust us we'd love to retire as early as possible🎉
Medium well perfect🎉
Lynn's was perfectly medium and Mike's was medium well... Deliciously seasoned and love having steaks at the campground😊
I went up to the top of that tower and I was alone. Then came a dad and kids. And then the movement started and it was time to go. That sway sure makes it feel SKETCHY 😂
Haha yeah when i was going up a father/son were coming down and once I was up there for a minute another woman came up but luckily everyone was moving slowly (probably because it was super windy that day😂) we've been on other fire towers with people and wow, it was MOVING! Definitely can feel sketchy lol
TMI but it figures you like a beer can. LOL! At 2:00
I guess we don't get the reference for that time stamp. Not sure what a beer can has to do with that time
Now that I only have one leg I don't think I could hop up the tower with two you bet
I'm sure you could but it would be a heck of a workout and way more dangerous than what we did
I will stay at the bottom and hold the dogs, lol!
😂🐾 that's definitely an option!
Great episode!
Thank you! We really had such a great time here. It was a perfect combination of relaxation and being active with the pups😊
Looks like a cool park. Do you recommend driving over and staying from Dayton
We really enjoy this park, personally. Bison, fire tower, hiking, nature etc everything we like! Indiana has some really great parks and there's not really one we wouldn't recommend there's so far. The campground here's isn't huge but both times we've been here have been great
Two "C"'s... Dirty Wagner's!!!
Sometimes burgers are thicc haha
She sure looks good! Ahhh... Guy looks so sweet.... ❤ That must have been a structure the CCC built? Med/Well is perfect!
Im not sure what CCC stands for but those CCC signs were ALL over the park!
@@WanderingWagners It was the Civilian Conservation Corps that FDR created back in the day to help recover from the Great Depression. They did a lot of work in the parks all over the country... :)
Glad too see pipper is getting better better. All of your videos are Amazing no matter what You Wear in my opinion. So keep them coming. How's Your solar doing?
Thank you! She's doing much better and so happy to be back to normal after a long Winter.
Our solar is doing amazing! We will cover some of that in next week's video too😁
We have stayed over in Oaubache a few times its pretty nice, I just call it ooohbache lol who knows
We enjoy it here too!
We figure if Indiana can't keep the pronunciation straight then we'll just call it oh-bah-chee and be good with that😂
@@WanderingWagners 🤣🤣😁
Good day from Georgia 🇺🇸👋🏻🙏🏻. Ok I have watched a lot of your videos so far and Thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing. I have often wondered what it would cost to live full time in a RV only . Could you give me a Rough Estimate on just living in a RV such as the one you own . Like I asked just a rough estimate please 🙏🏻.
Thank you 🙏🏻 for being real on your videos. I must say that is the most appealing aspect of ya both. Plus all the inyawindow jokes y’all make to each other 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.
Thank you 🙏🏻
🇺🇸Friend From Georgia 🇺🇸
Well that's a loaded question. Our RV cost is $140k 4 years ago but RV prices are much different today even for our same RV. If you prefer dry camping and Boondocking you'll save money on campground fees but you'll need to have solar and upgraded batteries.
Then diesel prices varies across the country and if you stay put longer you won't spend as much fuel, but we tend to move around quite often.
If you find a RV you like with a good deal that already has mods done then it could be much more attainable, and could save money compared to living in a house but a house will gain value likely, obviously.
We appreciate you noticing us being real and simply just being our goofy selves and sharing our travels and such with everyone😊
@@WanderingWagners
Yeah sorry for the question, I have noticed the Price increase on the RV industry. I would rather purchase a older RV with the proven Mods already installed and troubleshooting done 😃👍🏻👍🏻. I’m almost in a place to travel. I’m afraid to wait, thinking 🤔 I need this that & other things done before I commit.
I must apologize I didn’t mention your Beautiful Dogs Piper & Guy . I am a Dog lover myself. I have a 4yr old Boxer named Copper. He goes everywhere with me 😁.
Ok sorry to take up your time. Have a great day and please give your dogs a hug for me lol.
🇺🇸Friend From Georgia 🇺🇸
There is nothing better than a woman that's wide at the base. Cheers
we've got those bases covered haha
I was excited to see yall at the same campground as us :) We love your videos. Maybe will run into eachother again adventuring one day. We stick to indiana state parks :)
We also love Indiana state parks so there's a good chance you may see us around again😁🙌🏻
Patiently waiting for bikini 👙 season 😊 great video ❤
Coming soon!
Love warm weather intro but hate that mike was not there to also enjoy the view...Mike remind her it takes two hands to handle a whopper ....burger LOL no way in hell I would be able to climb that tower.. ever since I fell off of scaffolding, heights have bothered me...much prefer watching you both do the climbing...
Mike was definitely there enjoying the RV wash for next video😎
We are always pretty cautious when climbing things like this.. Slow n steady! Luckily this tower felt way more sturdy than other ones we've been on!
Glad we saw you guys at ouabache but bummed we didn’t actually chit chat, but was still pretty cool to see some CZcamsrs lol
Haha we appreciate the support and definitely stop and chit chat if you see us at another park😊
I'll stay on the ground
We can't really blame you there!
Can i have a salad with my steak.
Haha absolutely!
@@WanderingWagners YOUR AWESOME
👋🏻34222☀️🌴🇺🇸
woo! Thanks for the support
Me not at all thank you
That seems to be the most common answer! Haha
Love the new Bikini 👙
Thanks! It's not new technically haha but it's only been in one other video before👙
It's OK. ;)
Both steaks were over cooked!
Haha well it's a good thing you didn't eat them😉 although I do cook to order for our steaks
Not at all!
Haha yeah... We understand that! It's definitely not for everyone😊
