    You're not hallucinating: This monument was deliberately built in the style of ancient Greek and Roman architecture, to commemorate the Great Depression-era Hetchy Hetchy Project that brought water down from the mountains to the Bay Area. The frieze says, β€œI give waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people.”

        A fun, pretty place to stop while riding CaΓ±ada road. I has water and an air pump and bathrooms. Take a photo with friends.
