The Summer of 76'

So back in 1976 we used to go out to the Reimers Ranch. Now its known as Hamilton Pool. You could drive down a very steep gravel road, very steep! and park close to the natural grotto, waterfall, and pool which fed Hamilton Creek. It ran on down to the Pedernales River through a canyon full of magnificent cypress trees and much smaller pools of water that whirled about like small jacuzzi's. The water was so clear and fresh and cold! And the shade from the cypress trees kept it even cooler. But this is Texas so even in the shade the air temperature was often in the mid 90's! Perfection! The Reimers would let a small number of people camp along the creek. We were lucky enough to be among that group several times!  The road out, up the side of the canyon was so steep and the clutch in my 65 Mustang so worn i would have to back up in reverse. Still blessed to hold the girl in my arms and the car is in my garage! But i dont have the trim figure I'm displaying or the long pony tail you cant see!
