## About Unnamed thermal spring

Laguna Pueblo land, Cibola County: a thermal point with no name about 21 miles from the village of Laguna. The water is tepid, low seventies. Tribal ownership is the headline here. The access status on record is unknown, and the spring is a little over a hundred yards from the nearest road, so the only real question is permission.

High desert, dry, a little above 5,300 feet. Snow barely shows and the year brings under ten inches of moisture. A short walk in, off a road nobody named. Laguna Pueblo is the land unit listed. Past a point on the map and a temperature, nothing describes the place, and no campground falls within range.

Ask the Pueblo of Laguna first. The record gives no permission and no fee, and tribal land is the tribe's to grant. A sample from April 1975 came back neutral, iron present. Cold season, per the record. A USGS number is its only other identity.
