## About Unnamed thermal spring

Ten miles from Mammoth Lakes, an unnamed BLM spring in Mono County managed out of the Bishop Field Office. Water on record is 73 degrees, which is tepid. Open access. Nothing about it is dramatic on file; it is a thermal point close to a road at high elevation, with no photograph and no second name.

The record lists it as roadside, about 250 feet from a road it leaves nameless. It lies a little over seven thousand feet up, and winters are serious: the snow figure is roughly eight feet a year, with eighteen inches of precipitation for the year. BLM land, designated public, no larger unit named.

Winter again, by the record. McGee Creek campground is about three miles away. BLM land, open, no fee on file. At 73 degrees, expect to cool off quickly once out of the sun. No chemistry sample recorded, and the reading could be an old one.
