Took a road trip to Oatman, AZ by way of the old Eldorado Gold Mine last week. Mine was very interesting to see.

Very enjoyable series. You have really captured the feel of this area.
Almost went there several years ago. Long drive in no man's land that doesn't even look like Earth on old route 66 to get there. Had a friend who's sister lived there. The whole town was on welfare and supplemented their income on what they could get out of the tourists. After seeing your photos, wished I had gone there. Maybe still will, who knows.
Thank you for the trip !! The writings were much before "Gunsmoke ";)

Thank you for looking. If you get the chance you should go. Its a very interesting area. The drive down from Las Vegas was not that long. We left Vegas at 8:00 AM and after stopping at several places and having lunch in Oatman, we were back in Vegas at 7:30 PM.

Your very welcome Susan. It was a interesting and fun trip.

Love your shots, zuzanne! Very interesting! The burro in the street looks like my pal, Bingo!
Thank you sailorsmom for looking and your kind comment. The burros were so cute. They were so used to people that they came right up to you looking for a handout. The shops sell food for people to feed them. I didn't because I don't believe you should feed wild animals.
