## About Spring

An unnamed thermal point recorded only as Spring, in Orange County about three miles from San Juan Capistrano. Soaking warm is the reading, a few degrees shy of body temperature. The record carries no owner and says nothing about access, so this is a dot on the map until someone confirms what is there.

Low hills under eight hundred feet, a short walk, a few hundred yards off an unnamed road. Winters are mild with a little rain. Summers dry. Snow does not happen. No land unit and owner is on record, which leaves the question of public ground wide open. San Juan Capistrano is the nearest town.

The record calls winter the best time. The water is at a comfortable soaking temperature, assuming there is anywhere to sit, and the record does not say there is. Access is undocumented; treat it as private. Falcon Group, thirteen miles off, is the only camping in the record. No fee appears.
