## About Sellicks Springs

Sellicks Springs is a lukewarm spring out in Lassen County, a long way from anywhere; Johnstonville, the nearest town in the record, is nineteen miles off. The water is barely above cool. County Road 26024 passes roughly five hundred yards away. No owner and access is on record, and the name is the only thing the record has to say about it.

This is high country, around forty-five hundred feet, with about three feet of snow in an average winter and a dry summer. A short leg on foot from County Road 26024 reaches it. Ramhorn Springs Campground lies ten miles off. The land record is empty, so there is no unit or designation to tell you who manages the ground.

The season on file is deep winter, and at this elevation that brings snow; check road conditions. The water is lukewarm, so the reward for the drive is modest. Ramhorn Springs is the camping, about ten miles. Access is a blank in the record, so look for fences and signs.
