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.
Pottsville was first settled in or about 1870. The migration of settlers into Texas was at its peak around 1850 to 1860 but had not progressed this far due to the Indian population. Hamilton was established in 1858 but the election of Lincoln and the threat and eventual war pulled all the militia out of the area. In 1857 the Hamilton County Minute Detachment of Mounted Texas Rangers were stationed on the Cow House Creek 12 miles south west of Hamilton at Camp Hamilton.
