The Hot Spring:

The hot springs are 3 very nice, concrete tubs that sit in the site of an old bath house.  The structure is not standing but the pools remain. the flow comes into a trough from a source about 200 yards away at around 135 degrees.  The water flows directly to the tubs. A channel has been dug so that the hot water flows around the tubs spilling into the water where there have been rocks put in the way to decrease the flow and keep the pools at a good temp, adjacent to the pools is a cold spring which has pvc piping to bring the water to the pool.  This way you can have 3 different temps to 3 pools.

 There is camping everywhere and there are no restrictions, clothing optional although watch out for families and sheep herders and everything wil be ok.

We are currently requesting a

We are currently requesting a surveyor from the BLM to ascertain the exact boundary lines approx. 40 acres from the three tubs to the South. The owner of that land passed away and left the water rights and the property to Daniel Del Ray Jensen who is offering camping for free with them amenities of security, sewer and electricity. He does charge a nominal fee of 5 bucks for parking a vehicle on the property. All are welcomed. Also we are building campsites from the tubs to the south by diverting the stream about 10 feet to a dead end and clearing the stream of debris to allow hot water to reach our property.
We are not certain exactly who owns the property to the North of the tubs. Anyone venturing that way should be warned that the owners have a sign forbidding trespassing.
