Gordon Warm Springs sits right in Cobb, in Lake County, a warm spring under a half mile from the center of town with Mesa Drive a couple hundred feet off. Body heat is the reading on record, a soft soak if the spring is open, a point our records leave blank. No owner is recorded.
Mountain town, a wet spot, thirty inches of rain with a little snow. The spring is near roadside on Mesa Drive.
