Don't know if any of you have ever visited or wanted to visit the beautiful Fly Geyser near the Black Rock Desert in Nevada,
but apparently it's going to get a lot easier soon, as a 'recreational resort' is planned for the vicinity.
You can read more about it here.

Thanks for the heads up. This is on my list of places to visit. Not sure if this change is good or bad...
"The geyser has a continuous flow of hot mineral water that feeds a complex of warm mineral baths and cool swimming ponds. These ponds and baths will be improved to provide an unparalleled outdoor experience."
Hopefully nothing will be "improved" too close to the geyser.

Thanks, John. This is the first that I have heard of the planned "resort".
I'm not too hopeful that this will be good for the site. From the standpoint of photography, the current very limited access was probably better. Unfortunately, I've not had a chance to visit it yet.
