## About Moorman Spring

Moorman Spring sits in White Pine County, almost fifty miles from Ely, a long drive. The water is soaking warm. The temperature is a shade above body heat, the comfortable end of the scale. OpenStreetMap carries it under the same name, which is a small confirmation that the place exists beyond a USGS table. Access and ownership are not recorded.

Roadside, some 140 feet off a road the record does not name. Mid elevation basin, dry, eight inches of precipitation, under two feet of snow. Warm summers, cold winters. A 2022 sample put the water at neutral with a light mineral load, which is recent. Land unit and designation are blank.

Winter is when the record says to come. No campground is on file. Ownership and permission are both unwritten, so that question comes first. Roadside access means no walking. Snow totals are modest here, under two feet in an ordinary year, so snow is a minor concern on the drive in.
