[Geysers] Gerlach Nevada

[SCAFLOC at aol.com]

Hi Scott,
 
I seem to recall that the land there was up for sale a while ago although  
the geothermal rights were to be retained by the seller.  No idea who  bought it 
and have never been there.  If anyone from the SF Bay Area wants  to take a 
jaunt out there, gimme a holler ... I've always wanted to  go!
 
Cheers,
Christina

I'm quite sure this will generate no response, but what the heck -- I'll  
try. Doing a bit of Web surfing, I find that there is a "Granite Fox Power  Plant 
Project" proposed for construction about 6 miles northwest of Gerlach,  
Nevada, at a site astride the state highway. Land ownership differes on each  side 
of the road, so a special process has to be done to gain project  approval. 
This process, and the decision, should be finished in early March  2005.
 
Anotehr geothermal project is proposed for a few miles south of Gerlach,  and 
still another at the Ward's Hot Springs, at Fly Ranch where there is the  
"geyser" (really a spouting well). I find it a bit curious that there is not  
proposed development _right at_ Great Boiling Springs, but perhaps this is  
because the springs are on land owned by the town of Gerlach? (The springs are  
within the Gerlach KGRA, but apparently is is ?not? under lease at  present?)
 
Anyhow -- has anybody by wild chance been there recently?
 
Scott Bryan
