I looked at the camera and I could not find any Photo's. Looks like I'll have to go back out and see if I can find the Lake Pleasant Gnome, Take a picture and place him somewhere new.

By the way, he looked to weigh in around 25 to 30 lbs. Take a lift bag if you plan on moving him.

8/5/06, went to Vista Point. Vis was about 10 feet (was pleasantly surprised). Water temp showed 83 on my computer. Thermocline between 35 and 40 feet with a drop of at least several degrees (got cold fast, even in a full 3mm).

Couldn't drive down to the water due to large rocks and holes in the "road", but was only about a 30 yard walk down.

Hey, that's the name of the game. If you find the Gnome, You get to move hime to a new location. But you must get back with us on SB and give at least a cove name. Some hint to his new home (location). Hopefully, not your front yard.

If we do get him on Sunday, we'll take the photo's and post them along with the his new home hint. We'll probably start a new thread.

Hint: he is now located in two cow. To the west of the ridge going north and south.
He was in 25 ft of water two weeks ago.

Good luck.

He's still in the original spot correct?!? I wasn't going to move him because if you were serious about the weight of him and therefore the need for a lift bag, it's not part of my gear. It's a great idea I look forward to 'the search'. About how big is it??

So he's probably in less than 20' now

He is still there in the original spot. We hope to move him on Sunday, that is if anyone else has not done so first.

Size wise he is probably over 20 lbs, 2 feet tall. He is actually pushing a small cart. Definitly want to use a lift bag to move him for safety reasons. And if you do see him and don't feel safe moving him, you can leave more hints here for others.
