In newest Texas state park, a Maverick leads the way
|
|
For James Adams (’17 MPA), the commute to work isn’t far. In fact, he arrives the moment he steps out of his front door and into 4,000-plus acres of rugged wilderness. As superintendent of the soon-to-be-opened Palo Pinto Mountains State Park—Texas’ 90th state park and the first in North Texas in over 25 years—Adams lives onsite and oversees every phase of its development.
