About this episode
Fasten your seat belts folks, we are in for a wild ride. Come along if you dare as we wade through Everglades National Park. Walking the line between elegant and eerie, dynamic and deadly this is a Park with danger around every murky corner. The largest wilderness East of the Mississippi has larger than life stories, and we have just barley skimmed the surface.

We love our National Parks and we know you do too but when you're out there, remember to enjoy the view but watch your back.
