A couple of miles from Soda Bay, Lake County, an unnamed spring with a reading of 95 degrees on record. That is comfortable soaking warmth, a little under hot-tub heat. Someone has photographed it; the picture is on file. What is missing is any word on ownership, and on whether the public can go in.

Location

The nearest road is under five hundred feet of walking away, and it goes unnamed on the record. This is low ground, around thirteen hundred feet. Rain and snow together come to roughly twenty-seven inches in a year, almost all of it rain. Snow barely registers in the average.

The record's preferred months are the winter ones. Letts Lake Campground is the closest one on file, and it is a long way off, around twenty-two miles. Ownership and access are both blank on file, so do the homework first. No fee is recorded. Ninety-five degree water is best appreciated on a cool evening.
