Boiling Springs, Nevada
Right in the middle of the 40 Mile Desert sits Boiling Springs. It was so tempting for the emigrants crossing in wagons, and yet so forbidden. Too hot to touch and too bad to drink, it was nothing more than 'salt int he wound.' It would later become a destination spot and gas station on Highway 40. Today it is used to dry onions from California. Just take the Nightingale exit on I-80 and you are there.
