Tudors Spring
Drag the handle to compare the two views. The orange dot marks the spring, in a frame about three quarters of a mile wide.
Tudors Spring is a barely warm spring that the record puts in Owyhee County, fifty miles from Homedale, the nearest town listed. The water is cooler than skin. Nothing is recorded about who owns it or whether you can visit. Tudor Road is the closest road.
Tudor Road leaves you a couple tenths of a mile short, and the rest is on foot. The ground sits a shade under four thousand feet. Snow stays light here, under two feet over a winter, and with about ten inches of precipitation a year this is desert. Nothing on record puts it in a named land unit or attaches a designation.
The record lists winter as the best season. The water is too cool for soaking. No campground or fee is listed. Since nobody has recorded the owner or access status, check before you walk over from the road. Fifty miles is a long way to drive for a cool spring, so know what you are going for.
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 Tudors 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.
