## About The Hot Springs

An entry named The Hot Springs sits two miles out of Bridgeport in Mono County. The water is hot, 113 degrees, at the edge of what most people can sit in for long. The land has no owner on file. Access is unstated. Even the elevation is not recorded.

Less than six hundred feet to a road without a recorded name. Cold country: the annual average hovers in the upper forties and winters bring nearly eight feet of snow, on eighteen inches of total precipitation.

Winter ranks best on record. Honeymoon Flat campground lies roughly six miles off. No fee is listed. At this heat the water can burn with time; ease in and get out if your skin reddens. The snow total means winter access on foot may be a slog. Land ownership isn't on file, so access is a question you have to answer locally.
