## About Hot Spring

This Hot Spring sits near Jackpot in Elko County, about fifteen miles out, and runs warm, mid-eighties. Basin Road is the road on file, roughly three hundred and fifty feet off. Ownership is not recorded and access is blank. Diamondfield Jack Campground is the nearest camping, fourteen miles away. Chemistry and photo are both missing.

Fifty-eight hundred feet up, with heavy winters: nearly five feet of snow and sixteen inches of annual precipitation. The walk from Basin Road is short, a few hundred feet over ground the record does not assign to anyone. Neither the pool nor its surroundings is described on file. The average temperature for the year is in the mid-forties.

The record flags December through February, and snow of that depth means checking the road first. Camp at Diamondfield Jack Campground, fourteen miles off. With no owner named, permission is unresolved. No fee on file. Mid-eighties water is no hazard. The depth of the water is not on record, and nobody dated the temperature reading.
