## About Unnamed thermal spring

An unnamed thermal point on Bureau of Land Management ground in Harney County, far out, with Hines the nearest listed town at 92 miles. The water on file is at the low edge of soaking warm, about body temperature. Access is open and the land is public, which is more than most of these remote points can say.

From Williams Creek Lane, the closest road, it is a few hundred feet on foot, a short walk. The Burns Andrews Field Office manages the land. Elevation is around forty-four hundred feet, high desert. Snowfall is moderate, a bit over two feet in a winter, and the year is dry at around ten inches.

December through February are flagged on file. Water around body temperature will feel neutral to the hand. No campground is listed and no fee is recorded. Public land and open access mean the main planning is the drive, which is long from anywhere.
