## About Casey Springs

Casey Springs comes out scalding in Pershing County's Black Rock country, sixty-odd miles from Lovelock, on open BLM land. Over two hundred degrees at the source, per the record. Nobody soaks in that. What the record gives you is a very hot spring on open public land with a photo attached. The USGS carries a site number for it.

The closest road is a little under half a mile off, a short walk, and the record cannot name it. Management sits with the BLM's Black Rock office. Elevation is a bit under four thousand feet, dry desert, seven inches of precipitation, a foot of snow most winters.

Winter is what turns up as the prime season. At the source it scalds on contact, so treat it the way you would a hot stove and stay well clear of steaming ground and runoff. The land is open, with no fee or campground recorded. Whether anything downstream cools enough to soak in goes undescribed.
