Gandy Warm Springs, Utah - Day Trip

My friend (and hero) Alaska Tim suggested a web site to me a while back for ideas on random trips out into the desert. One place that caught my attention was Warm Springs in Millard County- west of Delta, Utah - near the Nevada border. The west desert is so dry, salty, and barren that any spring or body of water is a rare and beautiful sight ... but this place sounded too amazing to be true. A quick check on Google Earth seemed to confirm it's existence (a little speck of green in the middle of the desert) .. and after a little coaxing, jacob decided he was game .. so off we went with the trusty GPS to guide us. Here's what we found......
