Pulling the load: Los Ebanos Ferry
Wed, 11/13/2024 - 12:00am
Take me back to a gentler time when people used a rope and a ferry to get across the Rio Grande. No, wait, such a thing still exists — the Los Ebanos Ferry, the last hand-operated ferry on the Rio Grande, just three miles off Expressway 83/I-2 near Sullivan City on FM 886. The days of the bootleggers have given way to drug smugglers but the historical ambience is still there.
