Mouse's Tank
Valley of Fire State Park
Overon, Nevada
"Mouse's Tank gets its name from a Paiute who lived in the region in the 1890s. There are several versions of Mouse's story, but it's generally agreed that he ran afoul of the white man's law and became a much-feared fugitive. The official park story says that Mouse was able to evade posses for an extended period because he knew about this natural water supply, and could therefore survive in what was a very dangerous desert when walking and riding horseback remained the only means of travel. By most accounts Mouse never surrendered, and was killed by a posse in 1897."
