Old Guerrero

One of the more interesting expeditions from Zapata was into Mexico to the town of Old Guerrero which was relocated in the '50s with the filling of Falcon Lake. Old Guerrero had been under water until just the year before, but with the drought was available to visit. The tour was led by Joe who was raised in Old Guerrero until age 10 when his folks moved to Gary Indiana. Joe wintered with us in Four Seasons RV Park and made an excellent guide.

    Under water? How did that Mission stay so nice. What a beauty.

      They sent some folks from Nueva Guerrero to stabilize the church and it had recently been painted. It is amazing that it withstood 50+ years under water.
