  1. IT MAKES SINCE THAT IT IS SAN PERLITA BECAUSE IT IS 8 MILES FROM RAYMONDVILLE AND WAS THE STAGE COACH ROUTE BETWEEN ALICE AND BROWNSVILLE..

  2. My dad used to tell us about this legend when we were kids , so i know about it , but im not exactly sure where it takes place,,

  3. You must have the name of the town wrong. I am from Alice and live in the Rio Grande Valley. I have never heard of this place nor this story. Alice, TX is in no way in the Rio Grande Valley. It is closer to Corpus Christi. Alice is approximately 1 1/2 hours away from Raymondville. La Rosita is a colonia is located in the upper RGV.
    The only Devil’s Lagoon that I know of is near San Perlita which is 10 miles east of Raymondville. Perhaps this is location you are thinking of. Even the article in the McAllen Monitor (where you got the artwork) states “San Perlita” not “Alice.” Please check your facts before posting them…Google it if you need to. It will save you the embarrassment.

    1. Is this lagoon east of San perlita? I went recently and that was the closest lake but I couldn’t find a road to it

    2. Yeah this story is hard to read through because the locations mentioned are nowhere near each other.
      Alice is upwards from kingsville, a good 2 and a half to 3 hours from the Rio grande.
      Amargosa is west of that, and raymondville is pretty far from either.
      None of the places mentioned are next to the Rio grande.
