Unnamed Thermal Spring
Another unnamed Sonoma County spring, this one right beside a road a mile and a half from Eldridge. The reading on record is 70 degrees, roughly air temperature on a spring afternoon, so think of it as a warm seep. A photo is attached, which is more than most unnamed points get. Ownership and access go unrecorded.
Roadside in the literal sense. The record puts the spring nine feet off the pavement, though it does not name the road. Low valley floor, a few hundred feet up, where winters bring a couple of feet of rain and summers bring none. Snow does not happen here. What surrounds the outlet goes undescribed anywhere on file, so the photo is your best guide to what you will see.
The listed best months run December through February. You can park and look without a walk. No owner is recorded, so keep to the road shoulder unless you learn otherwise. Camping is thin; the only site on file is Oak Shores, twenty miles away and day use by name. No fee is recorded. The water is too cool to count as a soak.
