Oatman, Arizona is a ghost town in the Black Mountains east of Bull Head, Arizona on the old Route 66 highway. The old mining town is known for its wild burros that roam the streets, descended from pack animals turned loose by early prospectors, and are protected by the US Department of the Interior. Joy’s sister Jeri and her husband Ron visited the town during our stay at the nearby gaming town of Laughlin, Nevada.
Chick here to see a slideshow of Oatman in my Flickr account.

Thanks for the memories. Have been to Oatman a couple of times and enjoyed the Wild West atmosphere. Actually have written about them on my blog at http://www.gypsyroadtrip.com. You might enjoy reading my take on the visit.
Will check it out. Thanks for stopping by.
