Day 12 - Oatman

Rested for too long.

Very cool indeed.

Finally - a donkey!!

Wow - didn't expect car side service. Actually it's Mr Donkey who wants the car side service! Sorry fella - no snacks today - Ella keeps them all for herself.

View from the climb up to Sitgreaves Pass on Route 66.

The Chief Art Critic releases her report: "Boring!!!"

The Oatman Highway winds through a billion crazy curves in this landscape.

We thought this was just a roadside viewpoint - but turns out the area has been seconded as a grass roots memorial site.

Just for Lloyd - and his dog.

The Hilltop.

The final resting place for a true gearhead.

The Renewed Topographics: Oatman Cemetery 2023

The memorials sprawl down the hill.

Farewell, old friends.

And heeeeee's baaaaack!!!

Yes yes - we must try the bed races sometime - seems a popular sport in these parts.

Ella just loves these things.

Fast Fanny is Fast. Don't mess with Fast Fanny.

As promised - Oatman does feature strolling donkeys. And lots of folks trying to photograph them. Donkey feed is for sale. Trinket shops galore. All in all the whole scene was a tad too touristy for us.

Belle of the Cplorado.

Racing dusk to home.

Aliens at our front door - while their ship hovers in the distance. No it's not Halloween yet - so these ones are very real.
