YEAR: 2005

SEASON: Spring

MONTH: May

DATE: 5

STATE: California

COUNTY: El Dorado County

LOCATION DETAILS: We were south of Tahoe City, and north of Sugar Pine Campground.

NEAREST TOWN: Tahoe City

NEAREST ROAD: 89?

OBSERVED: We were at Lake Tahoe the first week of may this year - 2005. While walking on the beach looking for pretty stones, my friend noticed this print in the beach gravel. What really caught our eye was the depth of the print (3 inches) and how the stones on the bottom had been incredibly compressed as if done by a great weight. Other prints were visible, but not as good as this one.

We were south of Tahoe City, and north of Sugar Pine Campground.

ALSO NOTICED: Fish had been jumping at end of dock day before. On this day and after 3 hours of fishing, we never saw a single fish.

OTHER WITNESSES: 2

OTHER STORIES: Both north and south of this location, had seen these in your database - Truckee and Sugar Pine Campground area.

TIME AND CONDITIONS: Afternoon, break in the rainy weather.

ENVIRONMENT: Gravel beach on Lake Tahoe.
