As the proverbial bird flies, this is about 45 miles northeast of Gerlach and roughly 25 miles east-northeast of the Fly Ranch area.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Per Garside and Schilling (1979) (yes, it is getting dated), there are traces of travertine and siliceous sinter among these springs, of which the southernmost had a temperature of 202F, right at boiling for the altitude. That, perhaps, is the Black Rock Geyser.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now, should the photographers photo show good ol' Fly Ranch, well then.........</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-------------------</DIV> <DIV> <DIV>In a message dated 7/13/2012 6:36:58 P.M.
