A picture of Oatman, old mining town, on Route 66. This is an old mining down with new merchandise for shopping. It also has shops with antique items Bob & I could remember our grandmother having in the kitchen and also antique used outside by the Grandfathers and Fathers. This place also had a comedy gun fight in the middle of the road. It is such a neat town. We were here on our last trip to Arizona in 2000 and nothing has changed. It stays an old town

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.

This picture was taken as we were leaving Oatman. These burros were on their way into town. There is a picture taken telling about these burros. They aren't afraid of your car. They are hoping you will feed them.

This is one our way back to Lake Havasu from Oatman, AZ. We were in Oatman and on the way back to trailer we realized we had crossed into Nevada, then California and back to Arizona. All in a matter of a short time. This is the sun setting behind a mountain range.

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
