Hamilton Pool Preserve

The last time I was at this place I was with my brother, his wife and daughter. That was 2 years ago...Gosh, I miss them. On the day we went, Toby had to work and was not able to go with us.

Since then, I have been wanting to get back there to show Toby paradise. I knew he would love it as much as I did.

So Hamilton Pool Preserve was our destination. Words can't do this place justice so here are A LOT of pictures to tell the story of our day...

The hike to the pool was .25 mile downhill. I'll leave it up to your imagination what the hike back up the hill was like for me...





The Pool itself...












Bear with me. I know I have alot of pics but I was having a hard time choosing my favorites..

I didn't get any further into the pool past my knees. The water was FREEZING and the day was windy and partly cloudy. After Toby and Sum had their feel of swimming in ice we decided to take a hike down to the river...




This is a cool small waterfall tucked back along the trail. Summer and I urged Toby to try and slide down the fall into the little pond below it. Long story made short, Toby managed to get millions of some kind of tiny worm/leech looking things ALL over him. In his shorts, pockets, etc. It took us forever to get those sticky little worm things off of him. I'm still laughing as I remember it...

I had pictures and a video of the whole thing but somehow I lost 1/4 of my pictures after they were downloaded...I guess that's what I get for laughing so hard at someone else's misfortune...



Toby spotted this very large fossil on the way down to the river. We wondered how many people had passed it by and never even noticed it.




Finall the river...If I'm not mistaken I think it's the Pedernalis River...











It was another wonderful day in paradise.
