The 2021 Journey, 277 North Campground, Amistad NRA, TX
So, upon leaving Del Rio, I drive north on US 377, across where Lake Amistad had filled in the San Pedro river canyon, across the new bridge and to my surprise, just a short ways to the east, I see the old US 377 highway bridge across the San Pedro river, and the old bridge across the North Fork as well.

From the view from the new bridge, both of the old bridges are now back above the water, in fact, both bridges are high and dry with only a very little water to the east of the new US 377 bridge. I am totally awed by this, acknowledging that the drought we are currently experiences is as bad as has been said. After I cross the new US 377 bridge over the Amistad reservoir, I turn right onto the old US 377 and drive down into what is now the 277 North Campgroud for some photos.
