Oatman, AZ is a very interesting town. The gold mine was shut down by the government in 1942 due to the war. It is now a neat tourist town that we enjoyed (and I am not a fan of tourist towns). The burros are wandering all over and a mock bank robbery / gunfight was well done - they pass the hat and it all goes to the Shriner's Hospital (they have given over $60,000 to date).
Oatman is down Historic Route 66 from Kingman, AZ and on the way back I spotted a cemetery high on a hill. Obviously no graves dug - but all kinds of markers, etc. Then further toward Kingman was a great place that I took a picture of - very quickly and back in the truck and heading up the road!
