This weekend marked the 35th Birthday of a good friend and to celebrate, we did the usual Austin summer thing, went to a nearby swim spot to drink beer and soak in the sunshine. We packed up the "light" rolling cooler, Brodie, sweet tea vodka and started our journey. After picking up two more friends in for the trip and meeting the other truck in our carpool, we set off towards some private land out by Hamilton's Pool.
I was forewarned that there would be a hike, but I didn't really know what I was in for. After a very hot, very scratchy hike with a water snake spotting and wading hip deep in questionable pools of water, we arrived to our spot and boy was it worth it.The next few hours were spent cliff jumping (I did not partake) and floating on noodles. This is why I live in Austin and this is what makes the summer bearable.
