Good question. Are to talking pyramid lake as you go over the grapevine?
Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.

Given that the regs are thirty pages long and have many restrictions on conventional boating...

No, really, I'm sure the tribe would love to have submarines in their lake. Brilliant idea.

Was only a few pages, but, Only thing I read that might be a serious issue, is lighting. These are, however properly lit, to be seen by other submarines.

The water isn't all that clear either.
The Truckee river drains into it which contains expelled water from the sewer plant near Vista Blvd in Sparks.
