## Soaking safety

**Fumarole: Not a Soaking Spring.** Senator Fumaroles is a fumarole, not a traditional hot spring. These geothermal features can be extremely dangerous. Boiling water, toxic gases, and unstable ground are common hazards. Do not attempt to soak.

## About Senator Fumaroles

Senator Fumaroles are steam vents. The record calls them boiling and gives no water temperature, which is what you would expect from a fumarole: hot gas venting out of the ground with no pool to sit in. They are on open BLM land in Pershing County, thirty-some miles from Lovelock.

Stillwater Field Office land, a hundred or so feet from whatever road passes closest. That road has no name on file. Low desert basin elevation. Snow is light here, and the whole year brings around nine inches of moisture. Nothing in the record describes the ground around the vents.

There is no temperature on file and no best-month listing, so pick your own season; summer heat in this basin is the thing to avoid. Anything called boiling deserves distance. Steam at that temperature burns. Fees and camping go unmentioned, and no water chemistry was ever logged. The ground is open BLM.
