Oatman

Today we visited a unique and charming town on old Route 66, Oatman, AZ. We have been there several times before but it is always fun. Oatman was originally a mining town in the 1800s and and had its ups and downs over the years, Today it is restored in a way that combines its old west history and its early 20th century route 66 history. It is located in the middle of nowhere is Southwest Arizona but is busy with tourist visitors. One unique feature of Oatman is the wild burros that wander around town mingling with the tourists and looking for a handout. We had a fun visit as expected.
