The parking lot was full when we arrived in Oatman. On the outside of the restrooms/outhouses was this sign. |
We missed the St. Patrick Day Celabration by one days. |
A cactus growing inside the middle of a gift shop. |
One of the buildings behind one of the gift shops. |
A look up the old western town of Oatman, AZ. |
People were lining up to watch a shoot out that was going to begin on the hour. |
We continued to walk up the street and stopped into the Oatman Hotel Resaurant, which is plastered in signed dollar bills everywhere. |
We were told by others to take a bag of carrots to feed the burro's. I came prepared! They do sell some other kind of feed in the gift shops |
I am a kid in a candy store when it comes to animals. |
Oatman is now supported by tourism because it is on Route 66 and because the surrounding cities, Kingman, Bullhead City, and Lake Havasu City promote the town to tourist. |
The Oatman Hotel is the oldest building in town. |
In 1912 a fire took many building in the town, but the hotel was spared. |
The town sits in the Black Mountains. |
This is a teenage burro. |
This burro rolled in the gravel and then laid and took a napped. |
Sweet dreams Mrs. Burro. All the burro's have names. When a burro is born, whoever see it first goes to the recorder office and registers it name. |
She let me come up and get a close up shot of her. |
She has some P Jammies in her eyes as my mom called them when she was a little girl. |
They love the carrots and smell them from about 20 feet away. |
One is a teenager and the other is an adult. There are four teens in the town and ten females and one male. |
They can be very assertive about feeding them. |
Joe had no desire to feed them. He said they were smelly animals. |
These looked to be an old foundations of long ago homes on the hill. |
We had a great time visiting Oatman, AZ. and their wild burro's. We were also glad we didn't get lost and got home before dark. |
