## About Geyser Ranch Springs

One of several thermal points recorded under the Geyser Ranch Springs name in White Pine County, this one comes out barely warmer than bathwater gone cold, around seventy degrees. Ely is the nearest town and it is a long way off, roughly forty-five miles. Neither a landowner nor an access status appears anywhere in the record. The chemistry on file dates to a spring day in 1985.

The spring sits at a little under six thousand feet in high basin country. From the nearest road it is a short walk, under five hundred feet, though the road itself has no name on file. Winters bring real snow here, close to three feet in an average year, and the annual rainfall is modest. The record carries no photo and no note on what the water does once it surfaces.

Midwinter gets the nod on the record, December through February, which seems odd for a spring this cool until you remember that seventy-degree water feels warm against snow. The vehicle stays behind for the last bit. No campground is listed and the record says nothing about a fee. The owner is unnamed, so sort out permission before you go. The temperature and pH readings are four decades old.
