Oatman & London Bridge

After leaving Las Vegas, we stopped at Oatman, AZ. This is an old mining town established in the early 1900'. When the mining stopped, the burros that were used as pack animals were released. Now those burros roam the streets of Oatman and the surrounding area. They like to be fed carrots and like to be petted.

This is a street scene of Oatman. It looks much as it would have in the early 1900's. Now all of the store fronts are gift shops and restaurants. This is the length of the town's main street.

Oatman is on historic route 66. We drove part of this route on our way to Lake Havasue to see the London Bridge.

This is a picture of the London Bridge. It is hard to see the flags flying on the bridge, but there are both US and British flags.

We are resting a few days in Sun City. We will be leaving on Wednesday to start for home with stops in Tucson and Tobmstone, AZ and Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico.
