	Description:		Texas Highways Magazine, the official travel magazine of Texas, has been helping grow tourism in Texas since 1974. Combined with award-winning photography, its coverage of major Texas tourist attractions as well as revealing some lesser-known nooks and crannies around the state makes the magazine a leader in its field. In the last few months, however, Texas Highways has taken on a new role in addition to its traditional roles. Quite accidentally, the magazine featured a story on Bastrop State Park that hit newsstands and mailboxes around the state and around the country the same week the park began to burn in last year's wildfires. The response from readers was not only touching, it was enlightening as well, prompting the magazine to follow Bastrop's recovery since the fire in an upcoming edition, chronicling not only the rebuilding of a community, but of a tourist destination as well. For more on this story, we talk with Texas Highways Magazine managing editor Charles Lohrmann.
