Episode Description:

In this first episode of our two-part adventure at Inks Lake State Park, I sit down with Catie and Andrew, two amazing Texas Parks & Wildlife staff members who help keep this Hill Country gem running, thriving, and welcoming to everyone who steps inside.

We dive into their journeys with Texas Parks & Wildlife, what inspired them to work in the outdoors, and the path that led them both to the shores of Inks Lake. From early memories to surprising parts of the job to those moments that made them fall in love with this park, they share both insight and heart… plus a funny story or two from behind the scenes.
