## About Hammond Ranch Spring

Hammond Ranch Spring is a warm spring in Lincoln County, roughly twenty-five miles from Pioche, with water in the mid-eighties. That is bath temperature on a hot day and cool enough to notice in winter. The record is thin. Nobody is listed as owner and no water chemistry has been filed. Access was never recorded either. It is close to a road, which counts for a lot out here.

Nearly seven thousand feet, which counts as high country in Nevada. Around two hundred and fifty feet of ground separate it from a road left nameless in the record. Snow is real here, three feet or so most winters, while the year's precipitation stays under a foot. Average temperatures come in cool. What the surrounding ground looks like is nowhere described, and there is no photo.

December through February are the months flagged on record, and with warm water at altitude the cold is the point. Class: roadside. No campground is named and no fee is given. Ownership is the open question and the record does not settle it, so ask locally before you walk in. The temperature carries no sample date.
