I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

During the California gold rush, a wagon train was traveling through Death Valley. During the summer Death Valley averages 116 degrees. Right outside of Death Valley, in the middle of Owens Valley is Owens Lake. Or I should say, was Owens Lake. It was there until 1924, from that time it has mostly dried up. So this family was thirsty. Really thirsty. And they were hot. As this particular wagon train trudged through Death Valley, they looked ahead and saw a sheet of water they all believed was Owen’s Lake. But it was just a mirage created by the intense heat, and the harder they pressed on to make it to the water, the more frustrated they became. The water they were seeking and thought they were traveling to wasn’t there.
