## About Unnamed thermal spring

An unnamed thermal point in Harney County, about 23 miles from Hines, with water that is barely warm. It is a USGS site and little else. The owner is blank in the record. So is the access status. The record gives it no second name from OpenStreetMap and no water chemistry.

Getting there means a couple tenths of a mile on foot from the closest road, and nobody recorded a name for that road. The spring sits at about forty-one hundred feet in the high desert. Winter snow is a little over two feet and the precipitation total is around a foot a year.

Midwinter is the period on file. The water is cooler than skin and will not soak anybody. No camping is listed near it. Because nobody has recorded ownership, confirm the land is open before you walk in from the road.
