Lost Treasures in the Desert?
Tales of the Desert Page 1 of 11 Lost Treasures in the Desert? In the distance is Danby Lake (Dry), North of Desert Center, CA . It appears bright white because of the solid evaporites left behind. Introduction Welcome to the Desert! In the American Southwest lies a vast region of moderate-to-extreme desolation encompassed by the Sonoran Desert, the Mojave Desert, and the Basin and Range Province . Die-hard folks (mostly from the East coast and the South, but some from abroad) over the past five http ://www.geog.ucsb.edu/-dylan/history .htm 11/29/00 Tales of the Desert Page 2 of 11 centuries have explored, exploited, prospered and profited from the land of the West. However, some have been lured by the sheer thought of gold prospecting towards an easy life . In most cases, though, amateur treasure hunters failed to make ends meet. Those who did find anything of value were not guaranteed the pleasure of living off their finds. A good number of prospectors -- after encountering good luck in making a strike, ventured out again to find their horde and extract greater amounts with more provisions - - and were never seen or heard from again, their secret of desert treasure lost forever. B ut sometimes not. All too many lost gold mine stories stem from a similar kind of event: a staggering, dusty, sunburned, near-dead prospector arriving in an outpost town with a sackful of ore, confiding his information on his deathbed to an equally gold-struck person. Not surprisingly, the confidant almost always never finds the site.
