## About Spring

The record files this unnamed warm spring under Nevada, in Modoc County, with Alturas given as the nearest town at no distance at all. The water is tepid, cooler than a bath, and a 2020 sample shows it very lightly mineralized, close to fresh. Neither the land owner nor any access status is recorded. There is no photograph.

County Road 217 passes within about a hundred and eighty feet. Roadside. Elevation is around forty-six hundred feet, and winters bring close to three feet of snow on low precipitation overall. The record carries no land unit and no designation, and no campground is listed, so the setting beyond the road is undocumented. Whatever is there, nobody has written it down.

The calendar note on file says midwinter, though tepid water in a snowy month is a narrow pleasure. Because ownership is blank, assume the spring may be on private ground until you learn otherwise. The sample is recent, which is unusual for this database. Roadside access means no walking in.
