## About Unnamed thermal spring

An unnamed thermal point in Union County, five miles from Elgin, sitting a few steps off an unnamed road. The record lists it as warm with no measured temperature, so there is no way to say how warm from what is on file. There is no owner on file and no land unit. Access status is blank too. It is a dot on the map and little else.

Roadside, under five yards from the road, at about 2,700 feet outside Elgin. Snowfall runs over six and a half feet a year and precipitation over thirty inches, so expect snowy winters and a fair amount of rain. Summit Guard Station Bunkhouse, about twelve miles off, is the closest place to sleep that the record lists. Nothing on file describes the surroundings.

The record has no best months and no temperature for this one. Roadside access. Check ownership before stopping, since no access is on record. The bunkhouse at Summit Guard Station is the camping on file. No fee recorded.
