## About Unnamed thermal spring

Fifty-some miles from Winnemucca, an unnamed thermal point on Humboldt River Field Office land in Humboldt County, Nevada. The water is tepid at best, seventy degrees, so nobody is going to warm up in it. BLM holds the ground and has it down as open. No chemistry was ever recorded here, and the USGS never assigned it a site number.

Reaching it means about a mile on foot, and the road you set out from carries no name in the record. Mid-elevation basin country. Snow is on the lighter side, eighteen inches in a normal winter, and the year is a dry one. No campground is listed anywhere close, and the land has no designation past plain public.

The record favors the dead of winter, though the water is too cool to matter much in the cold. Count on a mile of walking each way. There is nothing on file about a fee. Since no sample was ever taken, the temperature is the only measurement to go on, and when it was taken is not recorded either.
