## About Wolf Hot Spring

Wolf Hot Spring turns up in Camas County, Idaho, a dozen miles out from Fairfield. Hot, at the top end of what a person can sit in. That would make it a soaking spring if a pool existed, and no pool has been recorded. Ownership of the land is unknown. So is the question of whether you can legally go. The water has never been sampled.

Mink Road is the closest road, and the spring is a short walk off it, roughly a fifth of a mile. Elevation is foothill country. Winter snow runs about five feet; the rest of the year is moderately dry. No land unit or owner appears in the record, so you cannot tell from here if the ground is public.

The listed months run December to February. Nobody has recorded access or land ownership, so assume nothing and ask locally. The Dog Creek campground is the nearest one we have, nearly nineteen miles away. Water this warm can scald if it comes out hotter at the source than the figure on file; ease in.
