## About Trudau Warm Springs

Trudau Warm Springs comes up tepid in Madison County, Montana, around ten miles from Virginia City. Warm to the touch, nowhere near soaking heat. Owner and chemistry are empty fields here, and access goes unmentioned. What it has is a name, a temperature and a position less than a mile from a road, which is enough to put it on the map and not much more.

Garden Creek Road, seven tenths of a mile off, is the road you start from. Middling elevation. Snow comes to four feet and a bit in a normal winter, with a dry year otherwise. Axolotl Cabin, about thirteen miles away, is all the record lists for camping. Neither land unit nor trail appears.

The window given is midwinter. Axolotl Cabin is the camping on record, and it is not close. Nothing is recorded for a fee, and the temperature comes with no sample date attached. Find out who owns the ground before you set out. Water this cool is not something anyone soaks in.
