## About Mustang Springs

Mustang Springs is a warm spring in the Black Rock Field Office country of Pershing County, close to ninety miles from Lovelock. The water is barely above tepid, more a cool bath than a hot one. It is public BLM land, listed as open, and reaching it involves an actual hike.

Two miles of walking separate the spring from the nearest road, and no name or condition for that road appears on file. The land sits near six thousand feet, cold enough for a real snow season, two feet and a bit. Dry the rest of the year. The approach from Lovelock is most of the trip.

Cold months rate best on the record, December to February, though a two mile hike in snow at this elevation is a different proposition from a summer walk. No fee, no campground listed. Access is open per the BLM. The temperature comes from a USGS site, date unknown, and at this warmth a small seasonal swing could make it feel cold.
