A man and his park... I had the opportunity yesterday to spend the day traveling, hiking and eating with some co-workers, Deputy Comptroller Jason Mumpower and Comptroller Justin P. Wilson to the park that bares his name. We all got to know each other a little better, had a great day exploring the huge rock formations, and took in the breath taking views. The Justin P. Wilson Cumberland Trail State Scenic Trail State Park, a Tennessee scenic hiking trail, became Tennessee’s 53rd state park in 1998. It is Tennessee’s first linear park, cutting through 11 Tennessee counties. In 2002, the park was renamed for Justin P. Wilson in honor of his work to help make the vision of the Cumberland Trail a reality. Wilson was Tennessee’s Deputy Governor from 1996-2003 and currently serves as the state’s Comptroller. #comptrolling #tnstateparks #justinpwilsoncumberlandtrailstatepark #makinggovernmentworkbetter (at Overlook at Black Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv16r1xlYQX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rz8o47aby50x
