## About Warm Spring

On the Modoc National Forest in Siskiyou County, a Warm Spring sits about 28 miles from Tulelake with nothing more than its name and a warm tag to describe the water. No temperature was ever logged on file. Forest Service ground, public access open. This is a forest water source, a stop on a back road, and the record gives no hint of a pool.

Forest road 46540D comes closest, and the spring lies a walk of under half a mile beyond it. Elevation runs past five thousand feet, high enough that winter buries the area under well over sixty inches of snow. Summers are dry and cool for California. No campground is listed nearby, and no fee.

The record gives no best months, so let the snow decide: the forest road will be under snow in deep winter. Access open. With no temperature logged, a soak is off the table. Tulelake is the nearest town and a long drive, and there is no camping on record between here and there.
