Roadside rest

Roadside rest
Big Springs Gardens. Roadside falls and spring on California State Route 49 a couple of miles west of Bassetts Junction. The plaque reads:
"Dedicated to the memory of state highway foreman Peter A. "Pete" Lavezzola (1925-1968), a native son who built this fountain in his spare time as a convenience for the public. Downieville Parlor No. 92 N.S.G.W. A.D. June 1971."

Thanks! It was an impulse pull-off as we were coming back from a hike on the PCT.

Some of my better pictures have happened when I just pulled off to stretch and looked around and saw something I would've just driven past.
