I know how you found out. You can just copy the pictures, and paste the address. Then I guess you read the address and found out the name of the river. I'm sure that's what you did.

I knew it wasn't the first and last though because they look dry and the second picture reminded me of the Brazos River [Is it?]. I guessed it before I cheated though; do I still win??? lol

I guess with this dry spell its a bad tie to be talking about Rivers. A bunch of them are a lot lower than normal.

In Houston Buffalo Bayou seems to be the only one not affected much. White Oak, Greens, Armand, Braes, Sims and the other Bayous are really looking low this year.

It is odd seeing large waterways like Brays dry. That thing is usually 25 to 50 feet deep in parts.

By the way, Texas Rivers were Navigable before they were dredged. The Brazos, San Jacinto and Buffalo waterways were all navigable before dredging. Dredging just allowed for larger ships.

This the Brazos river in BRYAN, TEXAS....so in conclusion all rivers in Texas are nothing more than a bunch of drainage ditch.
