Discovering a non-secret

Just down the hill from where I live is a Mineral Spa. In 1909, while drilling for oil someone found hot mineral water instead. In 1914 someone else had the bright idea of actually doing something with all that water and built a bath house including a public pool and private baths. It closed in the 1960s but was opened again in 1999 and has been going ever since.
It's not a secret, everybody knows about it. I know about it, I've driven past the sign many times. Yesterday I finally went and soaked myself in hot mineral water - it was wonderful. Definitley not the last time they get a visit from me.
