Dry weather still prevails in Rappahannock and the situation is acute. This dry river bed gives mute testimony as to the extent of the drought which has blanketed the county all summer. Thornton Gap River, where it passes under a bridge on Route 211 just east of Sperryville, is bone dry. This river comes from the Old Hollow and at the highway location not a drop of water is to be found. Jack Woodard who livea nearby (in picture) says tKis is the first time he has ever seen it that dry and he has lived here most of his 72 years. In the fall of 1942 the river was out of bounds and flooded all the bottom land in the area and washed away a house and a shed.
