Stockmen vaqueros say the change becomes very evident they ride along the shores and see bluffs where decade ago there was a gentle slope and as look at the pyramid in the center of the lake to present more volume above the tide level. Twenty five years ago the rocks where the surf beat and left an undying mark are to-day a mile from the water.

Finally, at periods of about five years the waves threw gravel and shells which formed a kind composes ridges in succession clear around the lake."
