RANCH RAIN SHOWER HITS BIG BEND AREA
Good rains in the Big Bend brought two to three inches across many ranches while Alpine area gauges show around five inches in a week. The Rio Grande rose to a 12 foot rise in Presidio and lower Brewster counties causing waterborne travel and stranded dove hunters. Local residents and visitors, including writer Frank Reeves, observed the pattern as drought relief mixed with lingering dry pockets in southeast Brewster and Dove Mountain.
