Fort Richardson, the Trailblazer & Lavaca Lessons

Fort Richardson State Park
History is the highlight at Fort Richardson, where buildings of this North Texas frontier fort continue to loom large. But even if today’s travelers aren’t settling the West, many still come to pitch tents and blaze trails.

The Trailblazer
We meet a trail building legend in El Paso. The Franklin Mountain range is the largest sustained mountain range in Texas, and it has some of the best mountain biking trails in the state. We’ll meet the man that has built many of those trails, and he’s doing it at the spry age of seventy nine.

Lavaca Bay, The $130,000,000 Clean Up
In the 1980’s, fishing in Lavaca Bay was all but closed when deadly levels of contamination were found in the surrounding waters. Today, over twenty years and a hundred million dollars later, the clean-up is almost complete. We’ll tell you how government agencies and private industry set aside their differences …all for the good of the bay.
