## About Petersons Mill Hot Spring

Petersons Mill Hot Spring is a remote thermal site in Lander County, nearly eighty miles from Battle Mountain, the closest town in the record. The record classes the water as hot and gives no measured temperature, so there is no way to say from here if it is soakable or scalding. No owner is named. Access status and USGS site number are both blank.

Roadside, a few hundred feet from a road that is unnamed on file. High country above six thousand feet, with a cool annual average and around four feet of snow a year. Twelve inches of precipitation. Nothing on file about ownership or designation. The elevation is the one hard fact here, and it means long, cold winters.

No best months are recorded. Snow totals here will shape when you can drive in. No campground is listed. Temperature and access are both unknown. So is ownership. Go to look, and do not count on a soak. The distance from Battle Mountain means fuel and water need planning.
