## About Collar And Elbow Spring

Collar And Elbow Spring, in White Pine County about forty-eight miles from McGill, comes up at the bottom edge of what counts as soaking warm. It shows up in USGS records as a thermal spring. The record has no landowner and no access status, which leaves its legal side open. The name is the most memorable thing on file and nothing explains it.

Roadside, with sixty-some feet between the spring and a road the record leaves nameless. Close to six thousand feet, high basin country on the eastern side of Nevada. Eleven inches of precipitation a year. Snow comes close to three feet, enough to matter on an unpaved approach. McGill is the town on record, a long drive off.

Winter scores highest of any season here, and with water this mild the cold air is what makes the soak. Ownership is unknown, as is access status, so check before you drive out. The temperature came from the USGS. Nothing on file about fees or camping.
