As We Gather at the River


Ever seen the Platte River?  Mom and I drove over it on the way to visit Grandma Geu in Aurora.  (Yes, she really is "over the river and through the woods.")  I had to stop and take some pictures.  It was quite the sight to see.

From here it looks like a river of sand.

And it practically is.  There's barely a trickle on this side and the other.

Sand as far as the eye can see...and just a tiny bit of water.
The Platte River has always tended to be shallow or dry, especially in times of drought.  But this - this is intense.  You know it's getting bad when the rivers dry up.
