| Fly Geyser - Washoe County Nevada |
I really, really can't stop to look this pics. This is amazing. This is a picture that describes my dreams of paradise.
Fly Geyser , also known as Fly Ranch Geyser is a man-made small geothermal geyser located in Washoe County , Nevada approximately 20 miles ( 32 km ) north of Gerlach . Fly Geyser is located near the edge of Fly Reservoir and is only about 5 feet ( 1 .5 m ) high , but 12 feet ( 3 .7 m ) counting the mound on which it sits in 2013 .
Fly Geyser is located on the private Fly Ranch in Hualapai Flat , about 0 .3 miles ( 0 .48 km ) from State Route 34 . The ranch is currently owned by Todd Jaksick. There is a high fence and a locked gate topped with spikes to exclude trespassers . The only access is a dirt road , but it is large enough to be seen from the road .
Fly Geyser is not an entirely natural phenomenon ; it was accidentally created by well drilling in 1964 discovering for availability of geothermal energy . The well might not are capped properly , or staying unplugged , however in either case dissolved minerals began growing and also building up , making the travertine mound on which the geyser sits and proceeds developing . Water is consistently released , getting to 5 feet ( 1 .5 m ) in the air . The geyser has a number of terraces discharging water into 30 to 40 pools over a location of 30 hectares ( 74 acres ) . The geyser consists of a number of several minerals , but its amazing colors are as a result of thermophilic algae .
