Spring
A tepid, unnamed spring about a tenth of a mile off Devils Hole Road in the Ash Meadows refuge, Nye County, twenty-one miles from Pahrump. Fish and Wildlife Service land with access marked restricted.
Short walk from Devils Hole Road. Low desert at about twenty-three hundred feet. A single inch of snow and four inches of rain are the yearly averages. The record holds no photo and no description.
Winter months listed. Restricted refuge: expect closures around the water and obey posted rules. Nothing on fees. No campground is attached to the record, and no water chemistry.
Aircraft with laser scanners measured this ground to within inches. The scan strips out trees and buildings, leaving the bare shape of the land around Spring.

Heat flow measures the warmth working its way up through the ground from deep inside the earth. Where it runs high, rain and snowmelt that seep down through cracks in the rock come back up hot.
