Thereâs a lot of potential, too â if we can increase profits and make things more stable, this is my dream job. Beyond the autonomy, the three owners really appreciate what I do. And itâs a short commute (10-20 minutes). Maybe in two years it would be different, but Iâd need at least a 50% pay increase to leave.
Just 23 miles west of Austin, Texas, is a breathtaking natural oasis emerging out of the hill country chaparral. Hamilton Pool is a natural spring formed in the limestone bedrock and fed by an underground river, which also feeds the small tributaries and lush flora surrounding the pool.
There are 75 parking spots at the Hamilton Pool Preserve. If an average of three people come in each car for the two daily sessions, then about 450 will be able to visit the pool each day during the summer. The Hays County-owned Jacobâs Well swimming hole near Wimberley adopted a similar reservation system in 2015.
