Amistad is an international impoundment on the Rio Grande River just upstream from Del Rio Texas. The park has picturesque scenery along with stark desert landscapes.
The water is unseasonable high after a 13" rainfal in July.

The Judge Roy Bean visitor center is operated by the Texas Department of Transportation as a Travel Information Center. It is actually off the highway (US 90) at Langtry and includes the actual original buildings used during the last part of the 19th Century.
The Saloon was called Jersey Lilly named after the old time movie actress Lilly Langtry.

The Ocotillo is all leafed out from the mid-summer rains.
Tomorrow we are off to the Caverns of Sonora and then on to the Hill Country. Sorry for the missing images in the previous posts. Not sure what happened to them. It's Google's fault.
