## About Pine Cone Spring

Pine Cone Spring runs warm near Cobb in Lake County, about two miles from town. The water is tepid, on the cool side of warm. It sits close to a road, under two hundred feet, though the road goes unnamed in the record. Nothing on file says who owns the ground, and public access is not recorded either, so the spring's status is unsettled.

Hill country at a couple thousand feet. This part of Lake County gets a proper wet winter, around thirty inches of rain in an average year, with a little snow mixed in. You stop on an unnamed road and you are there. The land unit is missing and so is the access status.

The record favors midwinter, which is also the wet season here. The closest camping on file is Warm Springs Rec Area, nearly nineteen miles away. Since no access status or owner is recorded, ask before you walk in. The water is too cool to need a temperature warning.
