Oatman is located just to the South and East of Fort Mohave, Arizona. It is what remains of a mining town that nearly evaporated when Interstate 40 bypassed this small community that is positioned along US Route 66. Today it is primarily a tourist attraction, largely due to the wild burros that wander the streets of the town. Burros can be spotted in many locations around this area, but here they are in greater numbers and the entire Main Street of Oatman is dedicated to shops and eateries that are based on a burro theme or the town's mining history. We enjoyed a nice lunch at the Oatman Hotel which features an unusual decor which you will see in our pictures.
Our thanks to friend Roger Mowery for alerting us to this and hope you enjoy this photo record of our visit. You can also read a nice account of the place at this link.
