Hopefully you can read this sign. It tells the story of Oatman and the burros.

This picture and the next are taken at Oatman Saloon, where we ate our lunch. We asked the bartender what the dollar bills signified. She said the miners made $1.00 a day and they would attach their dollar on the wall with their name on it and then when they'd get a drink a mark would be made on the dollar. The drink was ONLY $0.05each. That dollar would last a long time back then. LOL This whole saloon was covered with dollar bills.

Had a beautiful sunny day today. They had told us we were to get rain today. It went south of us.
I still don't have strong enough signal to download the pictures from Oatman. At some point I'll have better.
We went for a boat ride on Lake Havasu today. Beautiful scenery of both sides of the Lake. The cost was only $3.00 a piece and we had one free pass for the boat ride. LOL - reason there is a casino on the other side of the lake. The other side of the lake is in Calfornia. If there is a next time I'll take the camera. It takes 22 minutes to cross the lake.
It is suppose to warm up this weekend. We are suppose to be in the 70's starting Friday.
Until next time. Bye

Good Morning on February 9, 2010. This should have been posted last night, but couldn't get any signal last night. I am only posting a writing at this point. Can't load the pictures at this time, with the signal problem it takes too long to try to get one picture downloaded. Some real good pictures.
We traveled to Oatman, Arizona yesterday. We had visited this area 10 years when we were in Arizona. This is a very old mining town. Nothing much has changed in the structure of the buidings since the mining time. You travel 25 miles through desert and beautiful mountain area. At a later time I will download some pictures of this area. Ate at a old saloon and shopped in the stores.
Not planning anything for today. Sunny weather, but expecting rain later today and tomorrow. Seems like most of the USA is having problems with rain/snow issues. We would rather have the rain.
