Thumbs up Secret Sidewalk (WE'RE MEETING THERE TODAY, SUNDAY AT 7PM! BE THERE!!!)

Any of you guys have any stories, pics or experiences over there? (please keep it PG13 All I know is its in our backyard (Fremont), and from what friends and family tell me, you walk left-you die, you walk right-you die so its somewhat gauged my interest to someday walk it or take pics.

Pictures and blogs from the internet are inadequate if at all available. All I've actually learned is that its a narrow stone path (actually some kind of water transport/ aqueduct?) that goes through the hills where some teenagers party.

Post away!




(See the last page for details about the meet. We're meeting at 7-11 in Niles today at 7:00pm! Bring your camera, it's going to be fun. )

i go there all the time, its a longass sidewalk, like maby a few miles. Its like a stone sidewalk that goes all the way from the fields to behind the backyards of some of the residential buildings. Theres like a bridge and it pretty much follows the mountains, if you look below you there should be train tracks.

I love going there cause theres so much awesome graffiti and it has alot of history, ie there used to be a old brick factory there, but all tats left now is the chimney stacks.

Also, old charlie chaplin movies were filmed using the secret sidewalk =D. look it up. =p

^6th post down (in BoostedB's link) there are directions to get there. I know the road to get there- Niles canyon or if you want to take the long way, Calaveras hills- but the details climbing up the hill are in that post.

That white witch reminds me of the "white lady" in the Philippines- trying to hitch a ride and all (must be the gas prices eh?). Gene, maybe we could take an I-club field trip up there? haha j/k
