## About Hot Springs

A hot source on the Lander County basin floor, thirty-odd miles from Battle Mountain, that the USGS tracks under a numeric site ID and the map calls Hot Springs. The water is hot, well above bath temperature and short of scalding. Whose land it is, and if anyone is allowed on it, the record does not say.

The road passes within about forty feet of the source, near enough that there is hardly any walking involved. Which road that is goes unnamed. Elevation is a bit under five thousand feet, and winters pile up around thirty inches of snow in a year that otherwise sees little moisture. Nothing on file names a land unit.

Winter is the rated season, and the roadside position means you can check it from the car. Mineral chemistry on file comes from a 1974 sample showing mildly alkaline water; treat it as historical. At this temperature a scald is possible with prolonged contact, so test before touching. Access rights are unrecorded, and there is no campground or fee noted.
