  • This bit of exposed aqueduct is interesting to see it exposed. The right-of-way for this aqueduct runs through the parking lot of Woodside High School and the Menlo Golf Course. I recall very well, in the early 1970's, when a second pipe was installed to supplement the original aqueduct. What a path of destruction and mess it created when the second pipe was installed. But the contractors did a good job with remedial work so years later no one was the wiser that a six foot diameter pipe was under their feet.
