Former Kentucky parks official explains a Texas Davis Mountains park proposal printed in Texaco Topic. The plan envisions a 20 400 acre recreation area near Fort Davis with a 10 mile highway to the Guadalupe Mountains plus a scenic loop of about 80 miles through Sawtooth and Mitre Peak areas. Donations from ranchers amount to 700 acres with gifts from Donald G Melver and others. An art colony and cottages near an artificial lake are planned, with fishing facilities backed by Izaak Walton League chapters. The project would connect Fort Davis and Balmorhea routes and cross Valley Fort Davis Highway.
