Made A Trip To Oatman Today........

since we've been wanting to make this little trip for several years. Today, we finally dun it.

Oatman is on the old historic Route 66 and it used to be a thriving community with the gold that was mined in days past. It's now a tourist trap. There were two geocaches in town and another one that we picked up on the road into Oatman.

Right now one of Oatman's claim to fame are the wild burros that come into town and wander up and down main street. We only saw two of them today. There were signs posted around that indicated if a burro had a "carrot sticker" stuck on its forehead then that particular burro wasn't to be fed any carrots. The two burros in town today were apparently mother and offspring. The baby had a sticker stuck on it's forehead. A lady told us that the sticker was there because the younger burro still hadn't developed enough teeth to consume the carrot. If it was fed a carrot it quite possibly would choke and die.

I was tempted to buy a carrot for it; but, I figured animal activists would be all over my "ass"........ so I didn't waste my money buying a carrot. But, can you imagine the photo op of a young burro trashing around main street!!

Didn't spend much time in Oatman so back to the RV park we came. Considering Sea Food Buffet at the casino tonight.

Later. W&B
