You could hear this little fountain before you could see it. Or photograph it, as far as that goes.

There were two or three people out that day, wearing yellow safety vests and cleaning up litter from the roadside. If my memory is correct, that section of the highway had been adopted in memory of someone; it’s reasonable to assume the people I saw were related to the in-memory-of person.
Anyway, this wagon was partly filled with some of the larger trash they’d picked up that day.

I’ve been this place a lot of times but never even gave it a second glance. So maybe I missed seeing when it was open, seeing what the local customers were doing.
Or maybe, it’s been closed so long that if I had noticed it before now it would have looked approximately like this.
(Reason 1 to go back over and over to the same place.)

If you take the back roads, sometimes you’ll end up driving down into a valley with a tiny town at the bottom and that also feels like maybe you drove all the way into another place, another time. And maybe you’ll stop there for an hour or so. And maybe you’ll feel an overwhelming sadness as you leave, knowing you’re returning to the same place, the same time that you’d just left.
