Spring
Unnamed warm spring on Pahrump Field Office land listed as open, Nye County, about nineteen miles from Pahrump. Tepid, by the record. No USGS site number is attached, so the temperature figure has less behind it than most.
Eight tenths of a mile separates it from the closest road, which carries no name in the record. Low desert near twenty-four hundred feet. One inch of snow, four of rain. Hot summers, mild winters.
Cold months are the listing. The walk is under a mile and the land is open BLM. No fee shows in the record. No campground either, and no chemistry was ever sampled.
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.
