No Fudd Found Near This Fountain

The route we've been running for the last few weeks, takes us right by Elmer's Fountain in Mullan, Idaho. I passed it many, many times before I saw it. And then when I did finally see it, I couldn't figure out how to get to it. Until I did.

I have been wanting to take pictures of it for weeks, but I was either passing at night, or it was raining, or I was on the wrong side of the interstate. But here it is. This is the main fountain, the one you can see from the interstate. It sits in a ring of moss-covered rocks and is beautifully rustic sitting in its lush surroundings.

The fountain is made of old mining parts and from what I've read, flows all year round, even in the dead of winter. In this photo, you can see the second fountain in the background. It's so quiet and peaceful, even though it's feet from the interstate.

If you're planning on stopping by, know that it's on the south side of the interstate and only accessible if you're going eastbound. Get off at Exit 66, which is the Gold Creek exit. There is no place to park a semi-truck, but there's never anyone around, and you can probably stop quickly to take a picture.
