## About Pocahontas Hot Springs

Pocahontas Hot Springs is a named thermal spring in the North Slope Borough of Alaska. The nearest town in the record, Nuiqsut, is over three hundred miles distant. Land ownership and access status are both blank. So is the temperature. What the file holds is a name and a distance to a road, and anyone going would be working from that alone.

the road distance on record says about four miles from Hillside Road, classed as a hike. The climate row reads cold, with light precipitation. Snow comes to roughly four feet. Nothing describes the terrain, and no land unit is named.

Go in summer, and only with an independent reason to be on the North Slope. Verify who owns the land before you set out, since the record is silent on it. Nothing in the file backs up the heat the name implies, so carry no assumption about soaking. The file lists no campground and gives no season, and there is no fee either.
