We always enjoy a short trip to Oatman to see the burros.
Today the burros didn't come, but the town is an old relic.
It is an old mining town, when the mines closed down, the miners left their burros behind and there is still a herd of about 18 burros that usually frequent the place.
This building has been condemned.
The shootin gallery says "no shooting"
We enjoy the restaurant in the old hotel.
"Back in the day" the miners would prepay their expenses on a good day in order to eat on the days that they 'worked for nothing'.
Now, people love leaving their dollar bills with notes on them.
Today, this was the only burro we saw.
The road to Oatman is part of the original Route 66.
It is narrow and has so many switchbacks that it is always an interesting drive.
The yellow flowers are the only sign of a "superbloom" that I've seen.
