SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — The temperature was in the teens when the line started forming Monday for Christmas tree permits in the Lake Tahoe Basin that went on sale at 8 a.m.
The line grew and by mid-morning stretched out of the Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit offices and into the parking lot.
“Based on previous in-person sales, we anticipated there would be a line,” said LTBMU Public Information Officer Lisa Herron.
Approximately 1,360 permits were made available for purchase and sold 560 on Monday. There were about 800 permits left, and will be available starting at 8 a.m. Tuesday.
LTBMU offices are located at 35 College Dr, South Lake Tahoe.
