## About Twin (Vya) Spring

Twin Spring, also recorded as Vya Spring, is a barely warm source in Modoc County, with Alturas about thirty-eight miles away. The water is well below body heat, so soaking is off the table. Owner, access status, chemistry, photograph: all four are missing from the file. The record is thin, and what it does hold is mostly climate.

The road, unnamed in the record, stops about five hundred feet short of the spring. Elevation is around fifty-six hundred feet, high country, and winters drop close to five feet of snow. Annual precipitation is moderate. Divine Springs Campground is listed about seventeen miles off. Nothing describes the spring itself, so expect to find out what it looks like when you get there.

The flagged months are the winter ones, which is odd for water this cool. Short walk in. Nobody is on record as owner, so watch for signs. Camping: Divine Springs, the one listing, seventeen miles out. Expect snow on the ground in the recommended season, and a long drive from Alturas.
