Oatman Arizona Wild Donkeys (Christmas 2012) — Image by kenne
Below the Black Mountains of Arizona is an old ghost town abandoned by gold miners.
The town is named Oatman, and when prospectors left, they also left something behind—
their four-legged friends. Today, Oatman is a historic Route 66 pit stop famously infested with wild donkeys. Source: abc 10 Sacramento

Driving old Route 66 in the foothills of the Black Mountains near Oatman, Arizona, we noticed one of the ever-present Creosote bushes along the edge of the highway was decorated. Figuring this had to be a photo opt, I stopped to capture the moment.
Continuing our drive to Oatman, we saw another decorated Creosote bush: then another and another. I have since learn that this is a Christmas tradition — children decorating the bushes along Route 66 outside of Oatman.
