## About Capote Springs

Capote Springs is a warm spring in Presidio County, Texas, about 33 miles from Marfa. The recorded temperature comes in a hair under a hundred, right where most people like a soak. There is no word on who owns it or who may visit, so do not take it for granted that you can walk up. Getting there means a hike of about a mile from the nearest road.

A hike, by the record, a bit over a mile from an unnamed road. The elevation is just under 3,800 feet, which is desert upland. This is dry country: about nine inches of precipitation a year and snow that barely registers. No land manager and no campground are on file.

The cooler months rate best on the record, December through February, and in a desert climate that makes sense. Access is not recorded. Check ownership before setting out, since the ground may be private. No water chemistry is filed. There is a photo on record.
