In reply to the discussion: Can Tire Tracks Be Seen on Bottom of Lincoln Reflecting Pool? [View all]BumRushDaShow
(174,483 posts)12. IIRC
along the edge, the pool is around 18" deep but in the center, it is around 30" deep. So there might be enough slope on each to the center to shift more vehicle weight into the slope on one side. I expect the shocks on those limos are amazing for a smooth ride. Alternately, there looked to be a NPS vehicle, probably good for all terrain, that was at the lead.

There is a video below of that event. Looks like they started on one side and moved to the other side at one point.

I think that those marks are the bathtub ring of algae as the water drained at an uneven rate

Could be tire tracks or just rings of dirt and algae as they drained the water.

But dirt and/or algae would more easily get snagged along the uneven surface

I think they are too wavy to be tire tracks, the bathtub ring theory is probably correct
