bonus pipe at Upper McCord Falls (not the Kelly penstocks)

A while back, saw this rock that almost looked like a section of pipe rising out of the Upper McCord Falls trail. A few days ago, realized it is a pipe! There's a hole that wasn't there before, so now I know it's not just a rock emulating a pipe. It's maybe about 6" diameter (hard to judge when it's mostly underground). It's located after the railing (if you remember where the recent slide damage was, it's a little past that). I'm not aware of any pipes in the area, other than the obvious (the Kelly pipes that fed his mill). This pipe is roughly perpendicular to the trail, and although I didn't give it much thought at the time, I'd say it was roughly running down towards Elowah Falls. Let the wild speculation begin!
