## About Little Geysers

Boiling water in Lake County: Little Geysers lies about five miles from Cobb, and the temperature on file is roughly that of a kettle at full roll. It is listed as a single thermal point despite the plural name. This is not a soak by any stretch. Land owner and access status are blank, and there is no photograph.

The nearest road is Dillingham Road, five hundred-odd feet off. Elevation is around 2,700 feet in a climate with plenty of rain and almost no snow. No land unit is on record. Warm Springs Rec Area is what the record lists for camping, about fourteen miles away, and nothing names an owner for the ground itself.

Winter tops the ranking and snow is not a factor. Boiling water and whatever steam comes with it will injure you; stay well back from the vents. Warm Springs Rec Area is the camping on file. Access status is unrecorded, so find out who controls the ground before you go.
