😯We Were Just Passing Through… Then I Saw My Ex From 1978

This was supposed to be a quick stop… We spent a few days at Midway Campground in Big Cypress National Preserve on our way to the Florida Keys—but it turned into one of the strangest and most unexpected encounters we’ve ever had on the road. After getting settled in, we were approached by campground hosts who recognized us from YouTube… and then something happened we never saw coming. Karen ended up coming face-to-face with someone from her past—her ex-husband from over 40 years ago. Of all the places to reconnect, it happened right here in the middle of the Everglades. But beyond the story, how is Midway Campground?
