## About Soda Springs

Soda Springs in Mineral County is a USGS thermal point thirty-one miles from Hawthorne, close enough to Veterans Memorial Highway that you could see it from the car. Body-temperature water, the kind you can sit in. Ownership and access are blank, so the legal side is unknown.

Ninety feet or so off the highway shoulder. Mid-elevation desert, dry even by Nevada measures with about five inches of rain in a year and a bit over a foot of snow. There is a photo on file but no description of the ground.

Go in winter, per the record. Roadside means no walk, which also means no privacy from passing traffic. Public or private, the record does not say. Water chemistry was not sampled here, and neither fee nor campground appears. The USGS number may not match what you find.
