EP 104 - The Encantado!

Happy week of Valentine's Day Campers! I hope you're ready for a new episode because we have a good one for this holiday. In Brazil lives a creature known as the Pink River Dolphin, have you ever heard of it? They call the Amazon River home, but from time to time they want to come up on shore and spend a night with the humans. You might be wondering, how the heck are they going to make that happen? Well Campers as you already know things aren't always as they seem and these Dolphins might actually be cryptids!! So take a break, relax, and enjoy this week's episode.
