## About Big Warm Spring

Big Warm Spring comes up in Eureka County, roughly forty miles from Eureka, at the low edge of soaking temperature, the kind of warm that feels good in January and lukewarm in July. The USGS lists it as a thermal site. No landowner is on record and the public access line is empty, so the basics still need confirming.

Access is roadside. The spring lies some eighty yards off a road that has no name in the record. Elevation is in the range of fifty-six hundred feet, high desert basin, with nine inches of moisture in a typical year and around two feet of snow in winter.

Midwinter is the season on file, which fits a spring this mild. Roadside access, so no hike is involved. Ownership is unknown and access is not on file; assume it could be private until you learn otherwise. The temperature on file is an old survey number.
