## About Saulsbury Warm Spring

Saulsbury Warm Spring is on Toiyabe National Forest land in Nye County, about 25 miles from Tonopah, and open per the record. Warm is accurate, shy of body heat. A 1967 sample showed low dissolved solids with a touch of iron, and the whole thing sits at around 6,500 feet.

A short walk of nearly a mile from the nearest road, which has no name on file. High country under the Forest Service, with some 29 inches of snow in a winter and about eight inches of precipitation, dry apart from that snow. The Toiyabe is the land unit on record; the spring itself goes undescribed.

The record puts the season in winter. Nearly a mile of walking each way. Open, no fee recorded, no campground listed. The chemistry is from 1967; treat it as old news. The temperature is from a USGS site and the date of the reading is not given.
