Location: SoCal | I never went out to Hippy Hollow. But I did spend a lot of time in a cove on the Pedernales Rivrer. The cove with the big rope swing was just north of where we'd hang.
You guys are making me feel like a kid..... |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Moody or Joyful, what about Hamilton Pool. Great semi-unknown spot at the time. Supposedly formed from meteor....had the nice waterfall?
I heard that in later years it became more popular and the owner started charging addmission to get to it. |

Location: NJ | I HAD typed out a lengthy post regarding the shop where my first Ovation (and SlotHead) came from, and even had a scan of a circa.1976 photo postcard depicting the showroom with a BUNCH of O's hanging on wall (along with a stack of the old MusicMan amps) . . .
. . . BUT . . . . this @&#$%^&*)(*&^% RubeGoldberg "Gallery" software won't let me post it! aaaaaarrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhh!!!
I'll include it in the pics that I send to Jerome and "link" it at a later date . . . . |

Location: Houston, Texas | I hadn't ever heard of Hamilton Pool and since I never spent much time in Austin I missed out on Hippy Hollow as well.
Yeah, you guys are old geisers, I graduated in '77. Lots and lots of memories from back then. Anyone remember concerts in the long since gone Sam Houston Coliseum? I also used to go there with my Dad to see Houston Apollo's hockey games.
BTW, Rick, congratulations on your new purchase. Sorry for kind of hijacking your thread. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Hippy Hollow was great.....clothing optional but very rarily ever worn. All the old guys (at the time) would sit on the Pedernales river in their fancy boats with the telescopes and binoculars checking out all of our frolickin. Sigh....back in the day (if you were unlucky) when all STD's were curable.
I used to work for Harry Martin catering driving the mini-train and giving tours inside the zoo. This allowed me access to any HM catering and they just happened to have the contract for the Sam Houston Coliseum. This got me free access to all the concerts there...Zepplin, Hendrix, The Who, Rush, Grand Funk, etc., etc.,
Unfortunately, I was basically lazy and passed on a LOT of probably awesome concerts I wish I had gone to (the Doors being a perfect example). |
