Saving the Blue Distance
KUT’s five part series on the story behind the story of the Christmas Mountains can be found here.
The Texas General Land Office is trying to figure out what to do with the Christmas Mountains. The rugged chunk of West Texas, near Big Bend National Park, was up for sale but all bids were refused. But the only bidder right now is the National Parks Service. Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, who is overseeing the sale, doesn’t seem inclined to approve the National Parks proposal.
