## About Unnamed thermal spring

Twenty miles out from Homedale in Owyhee County there is an unnamed thermal point that the record calls hot and little else. It gives no temperature. Ownership is blank. So is access status. It is classed as a hike, a little over two miles from the nearest road, which is a long way to walk toward a spring you may have no right to visit, so read this page as a pin on a map.

Two miles and a bit from a road that the record does not name, classed as a hike. Low desert, a bit above 2,600 feet, dry, with light snow. No land manager appears on file. Slocum Creek Campground is the nearest camping listed, though at eighteen miles it is not exactly next door.

The record offers no best months. Sort out land ownership before walking in; nothing on file says this is public. With no temperature recorded, a soak is not something to plan for. Camping is at Slocum Creek, a good eighteen miles away.
