complete coordinates can be determined from finding various
landmarks around the Temple.
Most of us, when we turn on a faucet, never think about where
our water came from and how it got there. The area of this cache is
located at the juncture of underground water pipes that carry water
out of lake Hetch Hetchy, 150 miles away -- in Yosemite National
Park. From there the flow moves along Niles Canyon and under the
bay to surface in the San Andreas Lakes behind San Mateo and serves
the people of San Francisco. In 1906 the Spring Valley Water
Company (SVWC), which owned this area, hired Willis Polk, famous
architect, to design a "water temple" here where people could
celebrate the "meeting of the waters". San Francisco bought the
SVWC and the temple in 1930. The water temple then eventually
became unstable after years of neglect and the Loma Prieta
earthquake. In 1997 San Francisco restored the water temple after
persuasion of a group called "Save Our Sunol". The restoration was
completed in 2000 and is now once again open to the public.
