The Story
Hamilton Pool is situated
about 25 miles west of Austin. It is a beautiful place and is now a Travis
County Park. Way back there in 1960, my wife, Ann introduced me to this
beautiful place. Then it was private property and we could go there free.
Then I introduced this beautiful place to my major professor, Harold
C. Bold who used it many yearts to show the world of algae and non-vascular
plants to his students. So I have admired this place for nearly a
half a century! It is still the beautiful place I remember. I encourage
you to by all means visit Hamilton Pool if you come to Austin, Texas!

Admission is $5.00 per car and the gate closes at 6PM. I took my niece,
Kara Brown on a hike to Hamilton Pool on February 24, 2001. It was one
of those beautiful Texas early spring days! Upon entering the park, we
learned that on Feb. 14, 2001, a giant chunck of limestone fell onto the
trail. This is shown in ..2503. Enjoy this and the next three pages. I
have intentionally reduced the size of the photos to accelerate download
time. No photo is much over 150k. The digital panoramas were made with
Quickstitch 360. Digital images were made with my Olympus C-2000z camera.
Enjoy!
