The Augustino test

Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Texas's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Augustino climbed just as high around 1918, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Augustino's path sketches the road Texas is walking now.
