## About Big Blue Spring

Big Blue Spring is a USGS-listed spring in Eureka County, Nevada, about thirty-five miles from the town of Eureka. The record tags it as warm but carries no measured temperature, so nobody should plan a soak around it. Owner and access status are both blank.

It sits close to a road, roughly 250 feet off, though the road itself goes unnamed on the record. The elevation puts it in Nevada's high basin country, nearly six thousand feet up, where precipitation is scant and winter brings a couple of feet of snow.

There is no best season on file and no temperature, so treat this as a point on a map until someone checks it in person. Ownership and access are unrecorded, which means the land could be private. Check before you go.
