## About Hot Spring

Another nameless entry, this one in Eureka County, recorded only as Hot Spring, nearly 50 miles from Eureka itself. The water is hot, hotter than a soaking temperature and short of scalding. Owner and access are blank. It sits high, in country that sees real winter. A USGS site is attached. There is no photo, and no second name.

You leave the car on a road the record does not name and walk a few hundred feet. The elevation is high, the highest kind of basin country, snowy in winter, dry overall. A 1974 sample put the water slightly acidic. No campground is listed, and nobody is named as owner.

Deep winter gets the nod in the record, though at this elevation the road may not be open then; check conditions. The water can burn, so go slowly with your hand. Ownership and access are both unrecorded. Chemistry is from 1974. No fee on file.
