Jacob's Well goes well beyond 100'. I learned to scuba dive there. Swam at Jacob's Well, Hamilton's Pool, and Blue Hole during the 70's and early 80's when it was free. Growing up here was a blast!!!!
I jumped off that cliff and landed wrong, almost died. Literally. That was in 1974. The place was a super popular swimming hole, over run with UT students. At Hamilton's Pool.
Hamilton’s pool is gorgeous! One of my favorite places ever. I haven’t been to Jacobs well yet, but as soon as it gets warm enough my family’s definitely heading there.
Gig’em Ags! Texas is beautiful and “riding the river”, being the Frio in Garner , or the Comal or Guadalupe near San Marcos and Gruene Tx is a rite of passage for thousands of Texans. A great place further out is the Devils River north of Del Rio. That’s the standard for the purest drinking water in Texas.
If you love nature, you definitely need to check out these two places if your ever visiting near Austin, Check out Alexander Travelbums channel to see more about his van life and his travels here : th-cam.com/users/alexandertravelbum
This is an awesome video! I rarely make it through an entire vlog without skipping bits but you kept us entertained throughout. It's a shame you couldn't take a dip in Jacob's Well but the Hamilton Pool is so awesome. The well as well (see what I did there?) Looks awesome, looking forward to you making a video there when you can swim. I love how you highlighted these lesser known things in the US, I would've never guessed! Your channel is pretty inspiring for us to continue vlogging. Coincidence we've been following Alex for a while now as well and are watching his SE Asia videos for inspiration to where to head next. Hope you can give us a quick look and give some advice or feedback how we can get better and grow. Thanks so much! We subbed +1, excited to see what else you keep putting out!
Cheers guys! Yeah even places like Texas have some hidden gems. Alex mentioned that Hamilton pool looked like something from SE Asia even lol. Thought your channel was great too. How long are you guys planning to travel for?
These two places are jus a small taste. A drop in the ocean. Some places public is not allowed to go without a tour guide. Jus look up 10 top pools or waterfalls in Texas I can't remember. Balhmorea pool/San Solomon springs is also some place everyone needs to go before they die✌️
Texas has many spring fed rivers and creeks. As well around 7000+ lakes many of them being over 25000+ acres. Texas is very diverse and has as many as 28 geographic and geological regions. Unlike many states that only have 1 or 2. California has only 3000 lakes and that includes dry lakes. Good luck fishing those. Oregon 1400, Illinois has only 155 lakes. Washington state and Minnesota have 10,000 but most are tiny lakes by Texas standards. Half of Oregon, Washington state and California are desert. Than people act surprised that Texas is not all desert or that it has so much water.
Welcome to Texas people. Where the sun is Hot like our women but our rivers are ice cold like beer. 😎😎
haha, its been a boiling summer man!
Jacob's well is so beautiful and deep! Hamilton pool was even more beautiful! Awesome!
Cheers! They are both great places

Yeah I want to go back to jacobs well since it was closed!
it's so hard to come to this place now, you gotta reserve them months ahead and sometime dont even guarantee swimming is allowed

Are you making a Chicago vlog? I have been wondering if I should go there because flights are cheap to there. Will be cool to see it
Not sure but I think they closed Hamilton pool to swimming for now. Better check before you go

Febrero es buena fecha para acudir?
Very good!!!!
I wonder if the REAL Texans still say .. keep Texas beautiful, put a Yankee on a bus.. Bet they say put a Californian on a bus now..
Is this shallow enough for non swimmers ?
Non swimmer here- yes, there are some shallow parts of the pool. :)
What kind of camera that Alexander used?
Tins he uses the Lumix GH4
Jacobs well in nowhere near 100ft deep
Is there fishes there
I heard there are snakes there. Is that true?
haha not sure but it wouldnt surprise me!
Yes. Every kind of venomous snake in the US is in that particular region of Texas. The insects are nuts too
@@CattyMcMeow in Jacob's Well? Or Hamilton Pool?
@@veronicaurzua-rendon6535 Yep. Both. They're not too common though, but you can see them.
never seen any snakes while in that area or gators either but yikes that was a snapping turtle at Hamiltons.
How do you know about the natural place in Texas?
I saw it in photos and on the internet 👍
Why do you saw in photos and on the Internet?
So you explore the natural place in Texas as well?

Great vlog
Around what time did you go?
